Anthony Burgess' A CLOCKWORK ORANGE Heads Off-Broadway Tonight

Anthony Burgess' A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, best known from its iconic film adaptation by Stanley Kubrick, is headed to the stage this fall.

Opening tonight, October 1st in Times Square at the Roy Arias Stage 7 Theater (711 7th Avenue btwn 48th ST and 47th), A CLOCKWORK ORANGE will be directed by John Bateman.

"What's it going to be then, eh?" This is the question asked by Alex: a young, brilliant, and utterly vicious street criminal roaming the not-too-far-off dystopian future. Speaking in a poetry of inventive slang, he and his gang of miscreants roam the night, terrorizing their victims with "ultra-violence". However when the state captures young Alex with the intent of reforming him, Alex is thrown helplessly back into the society and at the mercy of those he's wronged.

Written by the acclaimed author Anthony Burgess himself, this award winning play examines the nature of good and evil at its very roots: the freedom of choice.
