Northcote Town Hall Season 2011 - A Clockwork Orange

Anthony Burgess’s
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

Directed by Ingrid Taylor-Moss and Sophie Petridis
Written by Anthony Burgess

There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening.

The molodoy banda of droogs settle for a nochy with a bit of the old in and out, some horrorshow ultra-violence and a bit of moloko plus at the old Korova Bar. But the bolshy times come to an end when Alex punchipunches and kills an old baboochka.

In the stripey hole, Alex is offered the chance to reform his ways through the controversial Ludovico Technique. What happens to little Alex at the rookers of the grahzny doctors blurs the line between nature and nurture, good and evil.

Anthony Burgess’s dystopian novel A Clockwork Orange was written in 1962 and was adapted for stage by Burgess himself in 1987. Famously adapted for film in 1971 by Stanley Kubrick, Burgess’s stage version restores the original controversial ending to the story.

Blindness

From the novel by José Saramago

A contagion has spread through the city inflicting sudden and unexplainable blindness on people. In order to contain the infection and maintain order the government steps in and enforces radical measures to ensure that the blind are restrained.

Isolated from the rest of the world the blind inmates of the asylum struggle to maintain a civil society as they cope with lack of food, the breakdown of basic facilities and the threat from other hostile inmates.

From the novel by Nobel prize winning author Jose saramago, this will be the first time this story has been presented on an Australian stage.
