A STAGE version of a Anthony Burgess’s entertaining yet disturbing portrait of teenagers escaping boredom through uninhibited pleasure in violence is touring to The Unity this week.
Welsh company Volcano Theatre’s production of A Clockwork Orange is directed by Paul Davies.
A five-strong cast shares the role of Alex, rendering his vivid Nadsat slang in contrasting accents, ranging from Glaswegian, south London and New York.
Icelandic designer Gudny Sigurdar’s set is based on modular shelves and islands of speakers, lit by old TV-screens, while her costumes are colour-coded uniforms that track the novel’s fascination with different kinds of conformity and transgression.
A CLOCKWORK Orange is at The Unity on Friday and Saturday.
