Best Violence

A Clockwork Orange, presented by Mind's Eye at Just Off Broadway
We know: No violence is probably deserving of a "best of." Still, think of how, with Taxi Driver, Martin Scorsese dipped his brush into the blood, semen and spit of New York City streets and devised a masterpiece of American alienation. The Mind's Eye production of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, a cult classic about how violence begets violence, was appropriately brutal and shocking. Seeing violence with real consequences is extremely rare in any media today, and director Christopher King's deft handling of the play's rapes and beatings was thoughtful and never gratuitous.
