About this listen
From the age of uniformity.
From the age of solitude and doublethink.
From the age of Big Brother.
From me, Winston Smith.
Greetings.
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.
Starring Andrew Garfield as Winston, Cynthia Erivo as Julia, Andrew Scott as the alluring, mysterious O’Brien, and featuring Tom Hardy as Big Brother, Audible presents a new dramatization of George Orwell’s classic tale. An immersive listening experience like none you’ve heard before, at a time when it has all never felt more chillingly relevant.
Featuring a haunting original score composed by Muse’s lead singer and songwriter Matthew Bellamy and Ilan Eshkeri, recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, the production is directed by BAFTA Award winner Destiny Ekaragha, produced in Dolby Atmos by Granny Eats Wolf, and dramatised by Olivier Award nominated writer Joe White.
Also starring Chukwudi Iwuji, Romesh Ranganathan, Natasia Demetriou, Francesca Mills, Alex Lawther and Katie Leung.
Featuring Ian Abeysekera, Rachel Atkins, Grace Baker, Joanna Brookes, Clare Corbett, Doug Devaney, Imogen Front, Sam Garioch, Raj Ghatak, Frances Jeater, Mason Moore, Yasmin Mwanza, Harry Myers, Kaelum Nelson, John Sackville, Sienna Sangha, Sam Stafford, Jo Troy, Jenny White, Sarah Whitehouse & Alix Wilton Regan
This adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 is an immersive listening experience, containing scenes that some may find uncomfortable. Listener discretion is advised.
Available in Dolby Atmos.

Stellar cast, Chilling performance
Andrew Garfield and Andrew Scott were absolutely brilliant; they showed what power an audio performance can have and what talented voice actors they are! This audio production of 1984 presented the dystopian world, the fear of thought crime, and lack of control and collective amnesia among the people so so well. Tom Hardy saying, "Big Brother is watching you" sent chills.
I would warn though, that the sounds of panic, death, inhumane activities have been added in the audiobook so disturbing content is there. However, everything is hauntingly relevant and George Orwell's 1984 is an analogy of our current world.

To me, it was Julia's character. It's stupid but I'm sucker for those type of girls.
I really liked the ending and the pacing. I did have minor issues with sudden scene changes, my that's a problem on my part. I would have appreciated a little bit more plot on the proles though, they were interesting.

only the music and the dialect
the story was really shabby not worth it with an even shabbier ending the story line could have been way better especially after a good first half

God damn
Perfectly executed, sat and listened to the entire audio book in one go while making my notes. Absolute cinema. I literally caught myself looking at my phone some times because the audio was so amazing I genuinely got confused that I was watching a movie

War is peace.
Just finished the 1984 audiobook on Audible, and it was absolutely gripping. Having Andrew Garfield voice Winston Smith was a brilliant choice, he brings a quiet intensity to the role that makes Winston’s internal struggle feel deeply personal. You can really hear the desperation, the hope, and ultimately the heartbreak in his performance.
Tom Hardy as the voice of Big Brother? Chilling. His tone is commanding and almost hypnotic, which made the propaganda sections feel even more disturbing. The contrast between Garfield’s vulnerable, human portrayal and Hardy’s cold authoritarian presence added a dramatic tension that you don’t quite get on the page.
The production quality was top-tier, atmospheric without being distracting. Listening to Orwell’s world brought to life this way made the story hit even harder. The themes of surveillance, control, and manipulation felt terrifyingly relevant, and hearing them out loud somehow made them sink in deeper.
If you're into audiobooks or want to experience 1984 in a new way, I highly recommend this version. It’s powerful, emotional, and honestly unforgettable.
