What’s it going to be then, eh? Anthony Burgess’s novel A Clockwork Orange has had a profound and enduring impact on literature, film, music, theatre and society since its appearance in 1962. To mark its fiftieth anniversary, and the fortieth of Stanley Kubrick’s controversial film adaptation, Cornerhouse has teamed up with the International Anthony Burgess Foundation to present a series of films relating to Burgess’s work.
This season has been made possible by the kind support and collaboration of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. For more information on their work visit www.anthonyburgess.org
