a clockwork orange
Thu, 11 Jan 2001, 11:33 pmDecades after the film was made, the shock and horror of the script could easily have been lost, but with Jen Moffat's skilled handling and an excellent intimate venue (the Amplifier Bar) the show really took off.
It opens with the introduction of the main characters who are genuinely disturbing. The manic Alex, played superbly throughout by Mark Storen, oused terror and hate from every pore. His hanger-on, the character of Pete (Thomas Milton) the mentally deficient who had to be restrained on a leash was faultless.
Mike Fincham and Kingsley Judd (one of Perth's golden talents, yet very rarely seen - why?) played many parts, with plenty of variety in the characterisation.
Claire Hoopper, who has proved her ability in the lighter genres, made the sick Dr Brodsky 'gloat'.
The rest of the cast, Renee, Angelique, Lucy, Adam and the producer / narrator Gibson did an excellent job of keeping the pace going, as did the appropriate lighting and music from Vellocet.
Congratulations to all. Find time to see this production.

Not for me........the subject matter is too off putting. Does anyone else feel this way? I will not go to see horror movies and ditto for 'horror' plays. I found the book way too disturbing.
