PROJECT AUDION 29 - NBC University Theater - "1984"

<p><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/32235/PA-29-1984.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="400" /></p> <p>This Project Audion vintage radio recreation is an hour-long dramatization of George Orwell's <em>Nineteen Eighty-Four</em>...which was originally produced in August 1949, just months after the book, to great acclaim, was released. <em>NBC University Theater</em> adapted this scathing vision of a possible future where "Freedom is Slavery" and "Big Brother is watching you." Big Brother is part of our cultural currency now, but in 1949, "1984" was a new and daring novel, and this early audio adaptation feels fresh - and still terrifying.</p> <p>WINSTON SMITH: Dana Gonsalves, TX</p> <p>ANNOUNCER: John Bell, AL</p> <p>O'BRIEN: Les Marsden, CA</p> <p>JULIA: Jesirae Kesler, TX</p> <p>MR.
