After the highly succesful production of 1984 (Oxford Playhouse, October 2013) comes another vision of the future in the first stage adaptation of the Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World. Director James Dacre (Artistic Director of Royal and Derngate, Northampton, a co-production with Touring Consortium Theatre Company) commissioned Dawn King the write the play, and what a great piece of work this is.
The staging is excellent, this director certainly knows what he is doing. All ten members of the cast are terrific, it would be hard to pick out just one. The set is rightly futuristic, as is the original music by These New Puritans. It was good to see the theatre full on a Tuesday evening, it deserved to be.
