“
Even though I’ve never read Orwell and I’m not a Swifty, I still love this play! It was so funny and clever and I’d love to work on it. ”

“
A clever variation on Orwell’s 1984 in which Taylor Swift, AKA Big Sister, controls minds and playlists. A fun and funny satire! ”

“
This play satirizes Orwell, pop music, and the blind devotion of Taylor Swift fans with precision and pitch-perfect timing. Hayet's keen eye for parody is incredible and I think this would make an excellent supplement to a classroom study of the 1984 novel. Such a fun play! ”
