    An amateur aural story teller like me can only marvel at how well this whole production came together. Every piece fit so well; my ears couldn't believe what they were hearing.
    The sound engineering and design were a delight to my cochlea, the music moved the story through its twists and turns, the writing adaptation by Joe White is brilliant, and obviously the director and cast killed it. I've listened to it 3 times and every time I do, I hear something new and notice different facets of depth. The foley work is my fave part. I'll be thinking about how some of these sound effects were made for a while.

    [SPOILERS THROUGHOUT]
    I listened to the first part last night. The production, use of sound and voice acting is truly remarkable. It's the kind of thing I look forward to and hope for in an entire cast audio production. Not to be fancy, but the use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound very much grasps you, whisks you from place to place, and frankly scares the bejesus out of you when it needs to!! What gave me cause for concern, on the other hand, was the irony of Orwell's work being spliced down to a significant degree. I understand it is for the purposes of dramatisation; it needs to be snappier and to the point. And I presume Andrew Garfield and Tomas Hardy don't come cheap! The real problem came when I heard that one of the characters was being portrayed as a woman rather than a man. Insignificant, perhaps, but the REWRITING OF HISTORY is PRECISELY what the books warns about. Little by little, one seemingly insignificant detail by one seemingly insignificant detail., until one day, on looking back, what we thought we knew is completely unrecognisable. But what do I know? (I wonder what kind of reimagining the book will take by 2084? A feel-good musical perhaps?)... Furthermore, I'm sure this decision was made for reasons of punchiness, but actually going "behind" the telescreens and into the Ministry of Truth (?) and listening to the party members that are spying on Winston takes away one of the fundamental elements of the story; the Panopticon styled surveillance, where we ought not actually know if they *are* watching and listening to Winston! That was one of the main tensions throughout the whole book! Even though we know the tragic ending, it is the hope that perhaps Winston may get away in the end. This is one of the primary tragedies, and in this reimagining, that tension is completely removed. One final point I couldn't help but to feel uncomfortable about. Audible made this production. Audible is owned by Amazon. Amazon has a product called an Alexa (you may have heard about it). And Alexa [sarcasticly] definitely doesn't listen to private conversations! Wink wink! So I wondered why this production, why now, and why in this manner?! Perhaps I'm entirely off the deep end. (I don't deny it!). Still, the decision I mentioned earlier about how we get to go "behind" the telescreen and listen to the spying, I think that's a little reminder that the people who run the largest, most profitable and all-pervasive business in the world, that have Alexas and Ring cameras in many houses, want you to remember that, as Tomas Hardy so eloquently puts it, "Big Brother is always watching you"...
