The Trump presidency has been a boon for dystopian novels, and now a pair of producers are hoping it will have the same effect on Broadway.

The British producer Sonia Friedman and the American producer Scott Rudin said on Thursday night that they plan to bring a stage adaptation of “1984,” a George Orwell novel published in 1949, to Broadway starting in June.

The adaptation was created by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan and has been performed in several countries, starting in Britain, where it was produced by Headlong, Nottingham Playhouse and the Almeida Theater. In a review of a production at the Playhouse Theater in the West End in 2014, Ben Brantley, the chief theater critic of The New York Times, described it as “willfully assaultive.” Last year it was performed at theaters in the U.S., including at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, Calif., at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Mass., and at the Shakespeare Theater in Washington.

In New York, the play is scheduled to open on June 22 at the Hudson Theater. That timing will make it part of the 2017-18 Broadway season; it would be eligible for the Tony Awards next year. Casting has not yet been announced.
