Critical Acclaim for 1984

1984 is a knock-out production. [Artistic Director] Tony [Estrella] never fails to pick dramas that have great meaning in today's world.  Joyce Smith of Cranston, Providence Journal Letter to the Editor

A potent evening of theater. ...Terrific performances. ...An intense reworking of a novel that has had a tremendous impact on a generation of readers. Providence Journal

Gamm’s production of Lane’s stage version is powerful and haunting, intricately and cleverly directed by Tony Estrella and rife with stellar performances. EDGEProvidence

Eerily relevant. Riveting and vital. The Sun Chronicle

That is to say that the production is visually stunning, vividly dramatic. East Bay Newspapers

Orwell's dystopian world springs most chillingly to life. ...Undeniably thought-provoking. Broadway World

It’s the sort of play that lingers with you afterwards, provoking thought and debate. It touches nerves. Providence Monthly

Well performed and briskly directed. Providence Phoenix
