To mark the 50th anniversary of Anthony Burgess’ controversial literary cult masterpiece, A Clockwork Orange is set to tour Australia.
The award-winning all-male cast, led by actor Martin McCreadie as Alex, shines in a breathtaking, ultraviolent depiction of dystopian future Britain. The high-octane testosterone-filled show takes audiences for a wild ride.
A Clockwork Orange is the story of Alex and his Droogs, a violent gang of thugs fighting against the tedium of adolescence. A Clockwork Orange explores themes of aggression, sexuality and masculinity through contemporary music, movement, and Burgess’ text. With a soundtrack which features the music of Gossip, David Bowie, The Scissor Sisters, Placebo, and Beethoven, A Clockwork Orange is both haunting and explosive.
This production contains adult themes and is recommended for patrons under 16 years of age.
Catch Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange from May 28 to June 2, 2013 at Queensland Performing Arts Centre. QPAC is just a few minutes away from our Spring Hill Brisbane Accommodation.
