A Clockwork Orange (New World Stages)

See it if You liked the movie. You like dystopian tales that are also very edgy. Music is hard hitting and enjoyable

Don't see it if You don't like violence.

See it if You Have very low expectations. This production is definitely much worse than the movie/book.

Don't see it if You liked both the book and the movie. This adaptation is amateurish at best and the acting/dancing is totally forgettable. Just don’t go!

See it if you want to see a muscle show and enjoy dance/movement. The lead is marvelous.

Don't see it if you don't know the novel or movie. The story gets lost completely, in favor of style and atteactive men.

See it if You like experimental theatre and the world Burgess creates.

Don't see it if You are triggered by violence or aren't willing to open your mind to new and unique theatre.

See it if You love the movie and would be interested in seeing a very different take.

Don't see it if You're looking for something similar to the original, or stronger writing and directing (as this lacks both).

See it if you want to see great acting by JONNO DAVIES who played Alex DeLarge He is what makes it worth seeing

Don't see it if you want more than just one bright light in a mismash otherwise

See it if you enjoy dynamic plays with absorbing dancing that is an integral part of the drama

Don't see it if you would be put off by the stylized violence and sex that are at the core of this drama.

See it if If you are a fan of the book, like strong performances & physicality

Don't see it if You don't like violence on stage.

See it if You enjoy men with great bodies dancing out all the violence

Don't see it if You have trouble understanding accents

See it if You are looking for something different.

Don't see it if You are looking for something traditional.

See it if Quite provocative with plenty of skin exposure. Acting from the main lead, Jonno, is just pure power - very very intense and dynamic

Don't see it if You will be lost if you are not familiar with the source. Transition is instead replaced by homoerotic acrobatics. Hard to understand accent

Also Sat in special side seating of the stage. Felt super close distance wise yet so far since angle prohibited me from seeing everyone’s faces simultaneously... Read more Read less

See it if You are prepared for a full -on assault of your senses.

Don't see it if You are expecting the story to be told with any restraint. This is raw, relentless, and almost campy

See it if you were able to stomach 1984... this was a slightly less intense feeling...

Don't see it if you don't like gritty, in your face kind of theatre...

See it if You enjoy dark and dystopic stories, great direction, movement is precise and dynamic. Jonno Davies is great as Alex.

Don't see it if The all male cast suggests themes that are not inherent in the text. Don't see if violence and the 'eggy wegg' language are not your thing.

See it if If you are a fan of the original novel and the movie version and are willing to explore the violent world of the Drools in future England .

Don't see it if You don't like a very sparce abstract interpretation of the story, much of which is done through creative movement and graphic violence.

Also Alex and his Droogs have always been a difficult subject, what with their constant use of "ultraviolance" and their proclivity for random acts of rape and murder. What makes it even more difficult is the use of a very bizarre slang that for much of the show is unintelligible. The audience can still follow the story but if you need it articulated you are out of luck. The action scenes are choreographed almost as dance, which does not disguise the violence and unlike must dance breaks end up in serious injury or death. The one important element that does come across clearly, is the question of choice when it comes to the questionable "cure" for the violent behavior.

The cast is energetic and conveys the vision of a youth culture based on physical prowess with an impressive display of muscles. In all an interesting experiment in physical theatre.... Read more Read less

See it if You like hot musclebound guys showing off. (but that's the only thing that will keep your attention...)

Don't see it if you are interested in a plot. Go to a Chippendale show instead.

See it if you like men with good/great bodies in acrobatic dancing and don't care whether you understand what's being said half the time.

Don't see it if you value the way in which Anthony Burgess used language in the novel or the portrayal of Alex in Kubrick's film version.

See it if you enjoy excellent staging. The movement and dance are fantastic.

Don't see it if you don't like to see violence on the stage.

Also As has been reported everywhere, the acting is athletic and the men are certainly muscular. Jonno Davies is on the stage for the entire play and you can't take your eyes off of him. An outstanding performance.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't already know the story going in.

See it if you like dark stories, the source material, and actors with fit bodies. This production captures the visceral spirit of the source material.

Don't see it if You're homophobic, or don't like changing the ending of a story that was as it should be.

See it if Creative choreography, violent behavior, great men's abs.

Don't see it if If you compare it to 70's film, which was incredible. Dislike men taking on woman's roles. Could not understand this new language.

See it if you absolutely love the book & couldn't have the experience ruined at any cost. Or if you like all-male productions (particularly buff men!)

Don't see it if you're expecting edgy, sexy, powerful theatre on par with the film or book. You will be disappointed.
