Clockworks and Star Gates
Following a sell-out London run, Fourth Monkey Theatre Company (who's behind Lab10) is presenting Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, with the lead role of Alex played by a woman, at The Space on the Mile at The Radisson at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe 6-21 August.
Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film has become synonymous with what you'd expect A Clockwork Orange to be, however, Fourth Monkey has taken on the challenge of bringing Burgess' official adaptation to the stage - watch the trailer if you feel curious.
Connected with Kubrick who's connected with A Clockwork Orange is 'The Last Twenty Minutes of 2001', an exhibition by the Berlin-based artist Sergej Jensen currently showing at the White Cube Mason's Yard. Exhibition closes 28 August.The title of the show alludes to the visionary finale of Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968), where the hero, Dave Bowman, travels through the psychedelic 'Star Gate' and 'beyond the infinite'. Jensen's new paintings invoke what the artist describes as 'floating around in a useless but essential space; an environment where 'beyond the infinite' - should you be looking for it - could equally be found in the dust on a kitchen floor'.
