Pure Emotion's site-specific production of 1984: A Unique Theatre Experience began previews earlier this week at Hackney Town Hall. Directed by Jack Reardon, the show stars Dominic Carter (O’Brien), Joe Anderson (Winston), and Neetika Knight (Julia).


Jack Reardon, the director of 1984 at Hackney Town Hall, said the following about the show's cast:

The cast assembled are truly extraordinary. It is testament to our casting director Fran Cattaneo. Each person has brought such unique insights and flavour to their characters. Dominic Carter’s wealth of experience on stage and screen has made him both a formidable O’Brien and invaluable rehearsal room leader. Joe Anderson’s years of experience on screen is incredibly captured in this production given the utilisation of live cameras and his experience has evolved the production with innovative ideas. Neetika Knight is a generational talent. Her natural presence on stage and instinctive response to the work has been awe inspiring. Together, we have created an extraordinary principle cast, supported by the extraordinary ensemble cast. Everyone plays an essential role in creating this one of a kind production of 1984.

Adam Taub, the executive producer of Pure Expression, said:

I am so excited at the talent of the creative team we have brought together for this new production, and the standard of this cast is just the cherry on top.. It is a brand new team and the show is being completely reimagined with astonishing AV, lighting set and sound design - Hackney Town Hall remains the perfect venue for the Ministry of Truth.
