One Hand Clapping - Anthony Burgess

Descriere One Hand Clapping - Anthony Burgess

\n \nSometimes when I'm at work and waiting for customers I think about the two of us living like kings and not bothering about the future. Because there may not be any future to bother about, you know. Not for anybody, one of these days. And it's a wicked world. \n \nAverage couple Janet and Howard's lives begin to unravel when Howard's photographic memory helps win him a gameshow fortune. \n \nJanet doesn't want their lives to change that much. She's quite happy working at the supermarket, cooking for her husband three times a day and watching quiz shows in the evening. \n \nBut once Howard unleashes his photographic brain on the world, the once modest used-car salesman can't seem to stop. \n \nAnd what he sees as the logical conclusion to his success isn't something Janet can agree to. \n \nBurgess's 1961 darkly comic satire of drab English consumerism is adapted for the stage by Lucia Cox. This edition was published to coincide with the US premiere at the Brits Off-Broadway Festival, at 59E59 Theatre, New York, in May 2015.\n
