About the show
1984 Up Late – Adapted for stage and directed by James Adler
The communist era is a thing of the past, but aspects of the Orwellian paradigm subtly pervade our times. Corporations, advertising, political spin-doctoring, and dreams of fame, control our actions. This multidisciplinary production uses an original music score, physical theatre and film to merge the story of 1984 into the game-show world of Big Brother Up Late. The question it asks is: have we become our own Big Brothers?

Auditions
People interested in auditioning for these roles MUST be interested in working closely together with a multidisciplinary ensemble and willing to attend ensemble rehearsals as well as participating in ensemble work.
If this is you send a CV and Headshot a brief statement about which role you are interested in and what about the role/character interests you to James@Eaglesnesttheatre.com

If the director believes that you fit one of the roles you will then be sent a script and given an audition time. Audition times will take place in the last week of April or the first week of May.

Auditions will take place at THE NEST – 24 Hardy Street Brunswick
