From the iconic novel by Anthony Burgess, made famous by the controversial Stanley Kubrick film, this hard-hitting stage play is a must-see experience.In a world of high unemployment, state surveillance and fierce repression, the young get their kicks from random violence. Alex is with his gang of droogs in his favourite milkbar, hyping them up for their nightly orgy of opportunistic brutality. But our charismatic delinquent narrator isn’t a straightforward psychopath. His quick wit is dangerously alluring and he has a penchant for classical music, especially Beethoven’s Ninth. As we follow his rehabilitation by the state through extreme psychological conditioning we are left wondering if being forced to be good is in fact more evil than sin itself.

The story, themes and issues in both plays are extremely relevant to the lives of young people and will stimulate strong opinions, different points of view and a chance to ask the question ‘what are my rights, what are my responsibilities, and why?’
