Our involvement in Storytel’s audio drama ‘1984’ was a profound journey, spanning six months as the production manager for the UK original. We played a crucial role in casting supporting talents, facilitating recordings, and advising on localising the production into various languages. This immersive adaptation of George Orwell’s masterpiece was shortlisted for the prestigious Audies, marking a milestone for accessibility and relevance in today’s world. The timing of our recordings, coinciding with significant global events, added a poignant depth to our work, making ‘1984’ not just a production but a historic achievement.
