by Anthony Burgess
adapted from his novel
directed by Christopher Johnson
at Gallery 37’s Storefront Theater
September 9 – October 16, 2004
“There’s more than enough here to remind us of why we’ll miss this historically important theater company.”
Chicago Tribune
In the age of Columbine and Homeland Security, Defiant Theatre presented a challenging new vision of Burgess’s dystopian classic with decadent hoodlums, gruesome murder, ultra ultra-violence and the “old in-out-in-out.” It was a tale of evil and good, of corruption and redemption, of authority and rebellion, of free will and coercion, and of milk and Beethoven. A Clockwork Orange marked the triumphant end of Defiant Theatre’s 11-year history in Chicago.
