Sometimes I really enjoy being in a city where there is so much to do. Last night we got the chance to see a performance of this production called "Clockwork". The show is based on the book "A Clockwork Orange" and was actually sold out for the short run of 3 shows this week. Being the ultra-savvy person I am though I managed to snag a few return tickets to see a stage version of the Stanley Kubrick film I loved so much. I love London...
Unfortunately the show wasn't all that great. I guess I should read the book or something because while the plot was similar (with slight variations) to the movie, the dialogue was occasionally long and arduous. The main character would go on these metaphorical monologues filled with too much symbolism and words that maybe only British people understand. All in all though it was still very interesting to see someone put this story on a stage. Now if only someone would do a "Red Dwarf" production...

hi bren this is my first comment ok, here it goes. i've read a clockwork orange and it is one of my favorite books as far as disturbing books go... but the language makes it kind of a tough read. there is a glossary to translate all the gang-lang they use, so maybe that's what was in the play? anyway, i miss you and that's the point of this comment. and also, i'm not a "google/blogger" so this is stephanie shaw, even though i'm going to list myself as anonymous.
