John Rylands Library, Manchester · 20 August 2012 - 27 January 2013

The International Anthony Burgess Foundation

From The International Anthony Burgess Foundation: 'Anthony Burgess’s dystopian novel, A Clockwork Orange, celebrates its fiftieth birthday in 2012. To mark the anniversary, the International Anthony Burgess Foundation is holding a new exhibition on the history of A Clockwork Orange at the John Rylands Library, Manchester, in collaboration with the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts, London. [...] The exhibition will look at the history and impact of the novel, examining the way in which A Clockwork Orange outgrew itself – becoming a Stanley Kubrick film, a stage play with music, and a focus for debate about youth, authority, evil, and the nature of free will.' Admission is free and the exhibition is open daily. [Read More]
