1984: An Audible Original adaptation

By Joe White
1984: An Audible Original adaptation by Joe White digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the age of uniformity.
From the age of solitude and doublethink.
From the age of Big Brother.
From me, Winston Smith.
Greetings.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Starring Andrew Garfield as Winston, Cynthia Erivo as Julia, Andrew Scott as the alluring, mysterious O’Brien, and featuring Tom Hardy as Big Brother, Audible presents a new dramatization of George Orwell’s classic tale. An immersive listening experience like none you’ve heard before, at a time when it has all never felt more chillingly relevant.

Featuring a haunting original score composed by Muse’s lead singer and songwriter Matthew Bellamy and Ilan Eshkeri, recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, the production is directed by BAFTA Award winner Destiny Ekaragha, produced in Dolby Atmos by Granny Eats Wolf, and dramatised by Olivier Award nominated writer Joe White.

Also starring Chukwudi Iwuji, Romesh Ranganathan, Natasia Demetriou, Francesca Mills, Alex Lawther and Katie Leung.

Featuring Ian Abeysekera, Rachel Atkins, Grace Baker, Joanna Brookes, Clare Corbett, Doug Devaney, Imogen Front, Sam Garioch, Raj Ghatak, Frances Jeater, Mason Moore, Yasmin Mwanza, Harry Myers, Kaelum Nelson, John Sackville, Sienna Sangha, Sam Stafford, Jo Troy, Jenny White, Sarah Whitehouse & Alix Wilton Regan

This adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 is an immersive listening experience, containing scenes that some may find uncomfortable. Listener discretion is advised.

Available in Dolby Atmos.

1984: An Audible Original adaptation Reviews

Anxious Face with sweat“wow, the ending really gave me chills. Andrew Garfield’s delivery of that one loud “I LOVE BIG BROTHER!” really got me everyone’s acting was amazing. I’m a sucker for anything Andrew Scott does, and Cynthia was incredible as Julia. And above all, Andrew Garfield absolutely carried. I was thrown off by the fact that this wasn’t a word-for-word adaptation (I didn’t look at the audiobook length prior), but I’d still say this adaptation does a good job of giving the gist of orwell’s original story. very much a “movie adaptation without the visuals” vibe that was immersive and enjoyable now that I have a clearer picture of the plot of 1984, I’d be interested in listening to an unabridged audiobook of it, just to see if one version feels more impactful than the other”
“This production have just managed to put exactly 💯 what Orwell would have imagined this book to sound like. From the music to the actors.. every bit is so immersive and draws you in to a very dark, disturbing and distressing imagery of the world. I read this over 30 years ago and was disturbed by the themes, but this version will haunt me for a long time to come 👏🩵”
