For the last 2 hours of yesterday's theatre lessons, the two theatre classes combined to watch the movie adaptation of 1984.

In the movie adaptation, Winston is seen as a weak man who falls in love with a girl called Julia; they later have a sexual relationship, which is something that is seen as wrong in the society's eyes. They continue with this relationship in secret but in the end they are caught by Big Brother and sent to Room 101 where they torture him to destroy his emotions and thoughts by transforming them completely; for example, they transform one of Winston's thoughts to agree with 2+2=5.

Since we have now seen the movie adaptation, we can collect ideas for our set for 2050. We can adapt some of their ideas and change them by using our ideas and imagination. For example, we have now seen what the government-helicopter things look like in the movie so we can change certain parts of it and adapt it to be more futuristic since our play will be set in 2050.
