Artistic Director's Welcome DIANE PAULUS The Terrie and Bradley Bloom Artistic Director American Repertory Theater

Welcome to 1984. We are thrilled to host the world-renowned U.K. company Headlong for their first production at A.R.T. Headlong's work infuses Orwell's dystopian masterpiece with visceral, stunning immediacy, posing urgent, provocative questions through explosive theatricality. Co-created by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan, 1984 throws us directly into current debates about technology and surveillance. During the run of 1984, the A.R.T. will partner with Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation on a series of post-performance discussions. Led by professors and experts in cyber security, authoritarian regimes, new media, and more, these discussions will examine the themes of 1984 in the context of contemporary global politics. This production exemplifies the power of live theater to give us new perspectives and ask important questions. By bringing Orwell's imagination to life in onstage, Headlong invites us to experience his vision firsthand, and to consider whether the warnings offered in this 1949 novel are more relevant now than ever.

Foreword: Appendix

By Robert Icke & Duncan Macmillan The ending of George Orwell’s final novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, is notoriously bleak. "If you want a picture of the future," Winston has been told, "imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever." Sitting in a café, defeated, drunk and waiting for a bullet, he loves his oppressor. Winston loves Big Brother. As we all know, that’s the end of the story. Except it isn’t. After "THE END," there is an Appendix, "The Principles of Newspeak," that many of the novel’s readers miss altogether. The American Book-of-the-Month Club, in discussions to publish the first US edition of the novel, demanded that Orwell cut the Appendix in its entirety (along with much of Goldstein’s book) before publication. "I can’t possibly agree to [it]," Orwell wrote to his US agent in 1949. "It would alter the whole colour of the book and leave out a good deal which is essential. It would also—though the judges, having read the parts that it is proposed to cut out, may not appreciate this—make the story unintelligible." Orwell stood to lose at least £40,000 in American sales. To Orwell, clearly the Appendix was essential to understanding the story. By the end of the novel, though, the reader should already know about the Appendix. At the first mention of Newspeak (on page four or five in most editions) is the only footnote in the entire novel: 1. Newspeak was the official language of Oceania. For an account of its structure and etymology see Appendix. The reader might notice that Newspeak, oddly, is in the past tense. We might take up this invitation to read the Appendix before reading on. We might realise that fiction doesn’t usually have footnotes or appendices. The Appendix is fiction pretending to be fact. Written in a period long after the novel’s 1984, a time in which considers the text that precedes it. It is written in "Oldspeak," our language, which should have been made obsolete, and concerns itself with the "final, perfected version" of 8

the Party appears to have fallen, it re-

Newspeak "as embodied in the Eleventh Edition of the [Newspeak] Dictionary." In the novel’s 1984, "the tenth edition" is not due to appear for some months. It refers to Shakespeare, Milton, Swift, and Dickens and quotes the Declaration of Independence at length (the latter particularly unlikely to survive Party censorship). It finishes by telling us that "...the final adoption of Newspeak had been fixed for so late a date as 2050," reinforcing the point its own presence makes: that the final adoption of Newspeak never happened, and its "principles" are so obsolete that they now need an explanatory Appendix. The final word of

"The reader might notice that Newspeak, oddly, is in the past tense."

the Appendix (and of the novel) is "2050." O’Brien tells Winston Smith that he will be lifted "clean out from the stream of history." Yet, there he is, named once, off-hand, in the Appendix, telling us the name of the Records Department, "in which Winston Smith worked." We don’t know how— but Winston Smith made it into history. But if this Appendix is written by someone who has read the novel from the future and appended these historical comments on the language, what is the novel in their world? Is it a Party record on Winston which survived into this post-Party future? Something that didn’t get into the shredder or the furnace before the records offices were stormed? Or is it something to do with Winston’s diary? We don’t know quite whether to trust it. The Party controlled all records. How has this "account" of Winston’s life survived? According to the Orwell Estate, ours is the first attempt to dramatise the Appendix in any medium. It never felt less than "essential": given the novel’s interest in records and documents and their relationship to truth, the Appendix perfectly complicates the novel that precedes it. Treating Orwell’s Appendix as "essential" makes his novel something far more subjective and complex than simply a bleak, futuristic dystopia: at the final moment, it daringly opens up the novel’s form and reflects its central questions back to the reader. Can you trust evidence? How do you ever know what’s really true? And when and where are you, the reader, right now? R.I. and D.M., September 2050

Glossary of Newspeak ANTI-SEX LEAGUE Organisation advocating celibacy among Party members and the eradication of the orgasm. In Airstrip One, love and loyalty should exist only toward Big Brother and the Party.

Julia

AIRSTRIP ONE A province of Oceania, known at one time as “England” or “Britain.”

BIG BROTHER The dictatorial leader of the Party, and its cofounder along with Goldstein (see Goldstein, Emmanuel). Life in Oceania is characterised by perpetual surveillance and constant reminders that “Big Brother is watching you.” THE BROTHERHOOD An underground network founded by Emmanuel Goldstein, an original member of the Inner Party. Goldstein turned on Big Brother and was one of the few to escape during the revolution (see also Resistance, Emmanuel Goldstein.) BLACKWHITE The ability not only to believe that black is white, but to know that black is white and forget that one has ever believed the contrary.

DOUBLEPLUS An example of how comparative and superlative meanings are communicated in Newspeak. “Plus” acts as an intensifier, and “double” even more so. In Newspeak, “better” becomes “plusgood” and even better is “doubleplusgood.” DOUBLETHINK The ability to hold two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accept both of them. FACECRIME Any improper expression that carries the suggestion of abnormality or of something hidden. A nervous tic or unconscious look of anxiety could be a punishable offence. The Theory and

GOLDSTEIN’S BOOK Practice of Referred to simply as “The Oligarchical Collectivism Book,” Emmanuel Goldstein’s record is a compendium of all the heresies, of which Goldstein was the author and which circulated clandestinely here and there. GOODTHINKER A person who adheres to the principles of Newspeak.

Example

doublethink

INNER PARTY Oceania’s political class, who enjoy a higher quality of life than general Party members. They are dedicated entirely to Big Brother and the principles of Party rule. MINISTRY OF LOVE (ALSO MINILUV) Oceania’s interior ministry, enforcing loyalty and love of Big Brother through fear, oppression, and thought modification. As its building has no windows, the interior lights are never turned off. MINISTRY OF PEACE (ALSO MINIPAX) The defence arm of Oceania’s government, in charge of its military. MINISTRY OF PLENTY (ALSO MINIPLENTY) The management of Oceania’s economy lies with this arm of government, which oversees rationing and maintains a state of poverty, scarcity, and financial shortage while convincing the population that they are living in perpetual prosperity. MINISTRY OF TRUTH (ALSO MINITRUE) The Party’s communication apparatus, by which historical records are amended in keeping with its approved version of events.

NEWSPEAK The official language of Oceania. Designed to make thoughtcrime impossible, its vocabulary gets smaller every year, asserting that thoughtcrime—and therefore any crime—cannot be committed if the words to express it do not exist. Implementation of Newspeak is referred to as “The Project.” OCEANIA One of three superstates, over which Big Brother exercises totalitarian rule. Its neighbouring territories are Eurasia and Eastasia. OLDSPEAK The version of English preceding Newspeak. In Newspeak, words that represent politically incorrect ideas are eliminated. OLDTHINK Ideas and patterns of thought that are inconsistent with the Party’s principles.

THE SECOND STAGE OF THE A.R.T. A DESTINATION FOR THEATER & NIGHTLIFE

CLUBOBERON.COM

Glossary of Newspeak (cont'd) THE PARTY The general population of Oceania, comprising middle class bureaucrats and other government employees, comprising approximately 13% of population. There is a huge gap between the standard of living of Inner and Outer Party members. Outer Party members have very little possessions, and almost no access to basic consumer goods. All Outer Party members have a telescreen in every room of their apartment.

THOUGHTCRIME All crime begins as a thought, therefore all crime is thoughtcrime. A person who has committed thoughtcrime is a thought criminal, even before committing the act itself. Thoughtcrime is “the essential crime that contains all others in itself.”

RESISTANCE The revolutionary group said to have been led by Emmanuel Goldstein in an uprising against the Party. Every ill of society is blamed on this group, which may or may not exist.

TWO MINUTES’ HATE A daily broadcast showing instances of thoughtcrime.

ROOM 101 A room in the Ministry of Love where thought criminals are taken. SEXCRIME Having sex for enjoyment. In Oceania, the only approved purpose of sex is procreation for the Party. TELESCREEN Two-way screens installed in the homes of all Party members to broadcast information and ensure constant surveillance. There is no way to control what is broadcast, only its volumes, and the screen cannot be turned off.

THOUGHT POLICE Law enforcement department designed to detect mental political transgressions.

UNGOOD The opposite of good.

bad

UNPERSON (ALSO UNWRITE) The process of altering and erasing records in order to eradicate someone from cultural memory. Once unpersoned, an individual’s previous existence can be denied. YOUTH LEAGUE Group for children in which membership is mandatory. Members’ primary task is to monitor the activities of their parents.

FOUNDING DIRECTOR Robert Brustein

The A.R.T. at Harvard University is a leading force in the American theater, producing groundbreaking work in Cambridge and beyond. The A.R.T. was founded in 1980 by Robert Brustein, who served as Artistic Director until 2002, when he was succeeded by Robert Woodruff. Diane Paulus began her tenure as Artistic Director in 2008. Under her leadership, the A.R.T. seeks to expand the boundaries of theater by programming events that immerse audiences in transformative theatrical experiences. Throughout its history, the A.R.T. has been honored with many distinguished awards, including the Tony Award for Best New Play for All the Way (2014); consecutive Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical for Pippin (2013) and The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess (2012), both of which Paulus directed; a Pulitzer Prize for Marsha Norman's 'Night, Mother (1983); a Jujamcyn Prize for outstanding contribution to the development of creative talent; the Tony Award for Best Regional Theater; and numerous Elliot Norton and IRNE Awards. The A.R.T. collaborates with artists around the world to develop and create work in new ways. It is currently engaged in a number of multi-year projects, including a new collaboration with Harvard's Center for the Environment that will result in the development of new work over several years. Under Paulus’s leadership, the A.R.T.’s club theater, OBERON, has been an incubator for local and emerging artists and has attracted national attention for its innovative programming and business models. As the professional theater on the campus of Harvard University, the A.R.T. catalyzes discourse, interdisciplinary collaboration, and creative exchange among a wide range of academic departments, institutions, students, and faculty members, acting as a conduit between its community of artists and the university. A.R.T. plays a central role in Harvard's newly launched undergraduate Theater, Dance, and Media concentration, teaching courses in directing, dramatic literature, acting, voice, design, and dramaturgy. The A.R.T. Institute for Advanced Theater Training, which is run in partnership with the Harvard Extension School, offers graduate training in acting, dramaturgy, and voice. Dedicated to making great theater accessible, the A.R.T. actively engages more than 5,000 community members and local students annually in project-based partnerships, workshops, conversations with artists, and other enrichment activities both at the theater and across the Greater Boston area. Through all of these initiatives, the A.R.T. is dedicated to producing world-class performances in which the audience is central to the theatrical experience.
