The sell-out Edinburgh hit tours the UK in 2012 after being met with rave reviews across the board. The tour dates will be announced shortly. It is being produced by Glynis Henderson Productions.
An uncannily prescient take on orgiastic teenage violence and sexuality, A Clockwork Orange tells the story of little Alex and his Droogs, their battle against the tedium of adolescence and subsequent liberation from impending adulthood. Made infamous by the release of Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film this unapologetic celebration of the human condiction still holds all the nasties of the past, banging ever relevant in our present.

Set in San Francisco, this new 1966 adaptation of the original Greek classic sees the outcast Prince of Mycenae, Orestes, exiled from his homeland after killing his mother in an act of revenge after she killed his father. Running as far from the horrors of The House of Atreus as he can, Orestes changes his name ad tries to forget the world he has come from. But when the gods catch up with him his whole life falls into question and his fate sits in the hands of the Olympians.

Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Verona where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death, bury their parents strife
The fearful passage of their death marked love
And the continuance of their parents rage
Which but their children?s end naught could remove
Is now the two hours traffic of our stage
The which, if you with patient ears attend
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend
