A Clockwork Orange

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatization of Anthony Burgess' novel which became a controversial film in the 1970s.

In a nightmare world of the near future, packs of teenagers run wild, beyond the control of their families or the police. Alex is a gang leader, addicted to drug-fueled assault, torture, and rape.

Alex and his vicious gang of 'droogs' revel in horrific violence. They run riot and communicate in 'Nadsat' their own hybridization of Russian and English slang. When a drug fueled night of fun ends in murder Alex is arrested. He is given a choice, be brainwashed into a good citizen, or face a lifetime in prison.
