Meet the Cast of 1984 – Michael Anderson is Winston Smith!

  1. Hi! Who are you , and what is your role in this production? My name is Michael Anderson, and I’ll be playing Winston Smith.
  2. What is your background in theatre? At Walterdale? I’ve been in numerous plays in the Edmonton area and on Vancouver Island. This is my first Walterdale show.
  3. What brought you out for the show? Because it’s a good and interesting story, and I wanted to do a show that my brother, John, was involved in.
  4. Why do you think audiences should see this show? Audiences should see this show, because of the challenge that the team takes on, turning a largely expository novel into a dramatically staged show.
  5. 1984 (the play), based on the novel of the same name, portarys a vision of a dystopian world, What is your favourite dystopian book or movie, and why? My favourite dystopian movie is The Matrix, because it was the first one I was exposed to, as a kid.
