House of Orphans and the International Anthony Burgess Foundation
are pleased to present a new stage adaptation of
One Hand Clapping
by Anthony Burgess
Burgess' disgust at western decadence and degradation, One Hand Clapping casts a jaded eye over our values, drawing a conclusion that still resonates fifty years on.
To coincide with the Serpent's Tail reissue of One Hand Clapping, Manchester - based House of Orphans and IABF have produced a theatrical homage to the 1961 novel. With a superb northern cast, this acerbic and comic three-hander explores the darker side of consumerism and the effects of the quest for convenience culture.
14th-16th March 2013
7.30pm
£6 in advance. £8 on the door.

Janet doesn't want their lives to change that much - she's quite happy, working at the supermarket, cooking for her husband Howard three times a day, watching quiz shows in the evening. But once Howard unleashes his photographic brain on the world, the once modest used-car salesman can't seem to stop. And what he sees as the logical conclusion isn't something Janet can agree to.
