A Clockwork Orange reviews

https://www.aclockworkorangeplay.com/ - video clip of the production.


'Burgess’s book and iconic film are here condensed into 90-minutes of sweating, pulsating, frenzied, barbarism that is gracefully and elegantly executed by a cast of nine who are as light on their feet as they are quick with their fists.'


'Davies makes an exemplary Alex, not only creating a physically engaging monster but also giving the audiences glimpses of the troubled boy within. It’s a nuanced, multi-layered performance considering its physicality.'


'The language takes a while to assimilate but it’s spoken with confidence and a certain poetic elegance by Alex and his droogs.'


'Director Alexandra Spencer-Jones has created a turbo-charged, grotesque, darkly comic and menacing masterpiece for the 21st century.' - http://www.stagereview.co.uk/theatre-review/a-clockwork-orange-review/




'The volume to which we are treated with music here is, like the story, violent and in your face but it is necessary'


'The inspired dance and fight choreography is at once balletic, acrobatic, and athletic, robotic, homoerotic, and theatrical (with a nod to the rival gangs of West Side Story). Performed by the perfectly sculpted Davies and the muscular men of the ensemble, we are deluded into seeing beauty in the shocking ferocity and sexual cruelty enacted on stage'


'(they) deliver the stylizations of language and movement with flawless precision.'
