This is a song cycle that is set in a fictional future but tells us a lot about the present and the past. What exactly is freedom? What exactly is at stake as we drift towards an ever increasing surveillance society.
Steve Roberts will play Winston Smith whose songs are of the of the dystopian society of 2084. Winston exists in a time where the human spirit has been defeated and subdued. Nobody trusts anyone. Everything you say, do, think and feel is monitored by the State machinery.
Matt Hill / Quiet Loner will play the part of 'the protest singer' -a ghostly voice from the late 20th century and early 21st century who crackles through from old technology. His is a voice of resistance and defiance to remind the inhabitants of 2084 of what once was.
