“I do not Proudly Present believe that the kind of society I describe necessarily will arrive, but I believe that something resembling it could arrive. The moral to be drawn from the dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.” —George Orwell, 1949 JULY 6 - JULY 28, 2018 24 pentacle theatre Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.
