About the Show

Hubris Theatre Company presents Anthony Burgess' stage adaptation of his novel about a young, brilliant, and utterly vicious street criminal in the not-too-far-off dystopian future.

Alex is a young, brilliant, and utterly vicious street criminal roaming the streets. 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. 'A Clockwork Orange' examines the nature of good and evil at its very roots: the freedom of choice.

Absorbing, Edgy, Dated, Ambitious, Thought-provoking

See it if You can still remember the movie and understood it.

Don't see it if You have no clue what it about. The movie is rather cruel and bizarre. The stage does nothing to ease it for the viewers.
