Following a sell-out international tour, the five-star smash hit production of 1984 from acclaimed theatre company Headlong is back in London, now playing for a limited season.


To mark the return of this stunning adaptation of George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, we’re offering The Student Room readers the chance to win a pair of top-price tickets to experience the show for themselves, plus an overnight stay at the four-star Strand Palace Hotel so they can make a full mini-break of their visit.


Just post in the comments with the words Big Brother is watching me and you'll be automatically entered into the prize draw.


More about the prize

April, 1984. 13:00. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching.


Orwell's ideas have become our ideas; his fiction is often said to be our reality. The "definitive book of the 20th century" (The Guardian) is re-examined in Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan’s radical and much lauded staging exploring surveillance, identity and why Orwell's vision of the future is as relevant now as ever.

All contemporary rooms include en suite bathrooms, free WiFi, LCD televisions, safes and room service is available 24/7.
