A Clockwork Orange Reviews

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Director Scott McKinsey makes creatively menacing use of the space in his promenade-style DreamLogic Theatreworks production--and in the process redeems the shortcomings of Burgess's script, which include confused sequencing, clunky dialogue, and, worst of all, the loss of the novel's terrifying yet relatable narrative voice. Mikey Renan is memorable as Alex, a sociopathic teen who's subjected to aversion therapy in prison. The oddly cobbled technology filling the Rotunda adds to its nightmarish quality."

Chicago Theater Beat - Recommended

"...Perhaps one of the most impressive elements of McKinsey’s production is that it stands on its own apart from the Kuberick film. While meditating on the same themes, it manages to remain theatrical rather than cinematic. This is Clockwork done live, which adds an element that neither the book nor the film can boast. While some of the brilliant narration and poetry of the novel are lost, at an hour and a half the action is on display in full visceral effect."
