It’s explorg masculy and adolcent sexualy, so you’re naturally gog to have that homoeroticism. When we took the show to Sgapore, was celebrated there as a sort of LGBT ’s attractg gay dienc New York as well, jt as did London.

I suppose that’s surprisg when you look at the film and novel, which don’t really have strong homosexual nnotatns. I’ve played gay characters, homophobic characters, all over that spectm, and I’ve always been terted to see how the gay muny perceiv my performanc.

‘A CLOCKWORK ORANGE’ THEATER REVIEW: ANTHONY BURGS CLASSIC REIMAGED AS GAY FANTASIA

I was gog to ask if you were aware that your off-Broadway -star is a huge gay heartthrob on the New York theater scene. Bee there is a sexual exploratn there, there is a homoerotic element people take away om sometim. It's tertg you brg up the homoerotic element of the play, bee troduc an element of tillatn to the vlence that is otherwise very grotque.

I don't thk Alex would label himself as gay or straight or whatever. He stars an all-male versn of A Clockwork Orange that is ls a nventnal stage play than a high-voltage homoerotic dance drama.
