Your guide to What’s On in and around Exeter this weekend (19-21 January):

THEATRE

A Clockwork Orange
Friday & Saturday, Exeter Northcott Theatre
An iconic story, set in an abandoned warehouse. Alex and his Droogs wreak havoc and mayhem resulting in Alex’s imprisonment. After spending two years in prison, Alex undergoes corrective treatment to cure his violent tendencies. How does he fit back into society and how does society respond to him? When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. This bold and dynamic production seeks to explore concepts of power and control and combines physical theatre and live music. https://exeternorthcott.co.uk

Pilgrims: A Work In Progress
Saturday & Sunday, Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter
In 2017 Annie McKenzie learnt some things. She went on a 100 mile pilgrimage to The Lake District, she found out that most of the time her brain isn’t her friend, she opened some very old wounds and made a few new ones. She’d like to chat to you about them now, if you’d be so willing. Following the success of her 2016 Edinburgh Fringe show Happiness is a Cup of Tea, which transferred to The Boat Shed last Summer; writer and performer Annie McKenzie is back with this work in progress of her new piece, Pilgrims, a show about… a lot of things. https://www.bikeshedtheatre.co.uk
