Sydney Theatre Company tonight unveils its 2018 Season, Kip Williams' first as Artistic Director.

There is nothing much unfamiliar about the very real invasions of privacy, hyper-surveillance, augmentation of technology, flaws in cybersecurity, and moderate resurgence of feudal attitudes we experience in life that art often imitates. For all its relevance, not to mention its prevalence in secondary school texts, and cult following to boot, 1984 could all-too-easily suffer from a stage adaptation remiss in pushing it beyond its direct correlation to the frankly frightening realities of contemporary living that have emerged almost exactly as predicted by the source material published in just shy of seventy years ago. Mercifully, Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan's adaptation, is anything but by the numbers. What we have here is a visually powerhouse, intellectually dynamic, risk-taking presentation of the modern making of meaning. Potent from the first moment right through until the dripping finale, it's a post-show conversation you don't want to miss.

Kip Williams' first production since being appointed Artistic Director of Sydney Theatre Company is the epic, geopolitical thriller, Chimerica by Lucy Kirkwood, featuring a cast of 33 at Roslyn Packer Theatre from 28 February.

Sydney Theatre Company today announced that it has appointed Kip Williams as Artistic Director commencing 3 November 2016 .
