Orwell in America
By Joe Sutton
Directed by Peter Hackett
Scenic Design - Caite Hevner Kemp; Lighting Design - Stuart Duke
This world-premier play is a fictionalized account of the America book tour the British author George Orwell was never able to make. His novel Animal Farm was an incredible success in America, but due to illness he was unable to travel. Through imaged public lectures and private conversations with his assigned associate from the publishing firm, Carlotta, it explores his works as an author and politician, the differences between American politics & normalcy after WWII compared to England's & Europe's continued devastation.
*This play was performed with different casts at Northern Stage in Vermont & at 59E59 in New York City,
both productions produced by Northern Stage.*
