Saddam Hussein AKA Big Brother at the BAC theatre...




The theatre version of George Orwell's 1984 - at Battersea Arts Centre - is well worth a visit. Nicely put together with imaginative - yet simple - means, it paints a picture of doom and gloom - just as Orwell intended. Winston Smith's last line, after he has betrayed Julia and is being rehabilitated back into 'society', is a chilling reminder of our own predicaments: "My soul is as white as milk" he cries out. Is it me or does Big Brother look a lot like Saddam Hussein....
