No End to Enderby is a new LUX book celebrating Director Graham Eatough and artist Stephen Sutcliffe’s ingenious tribute to the great writer Anthony Burgess (author of A Clockwork Orange) originally produced for the 2017 Manchester International Festival and Glasgow International.
Exploring issues of artistry, authenticity and posterity in a playful fashion of which Burgess would surely have approved No End to Enderby reimaged scenes from Burgess’s ‘Enderby’ series of novels refracted through the lens of kitchen sink drama/ television science fiction and Shakespeare adaptations. Including Inside Mr Enderby, in which a school trip travels back in time to pay desultory homage to the title character, a dead poet; and The Muse, in which a young historian journeys to a parallel universe to investigate whether Shakespeare really wrote everything credited to him.  
This event will include a screening of the two No End to Enderby short films followed by Graham Eatough, Stephen Sutcliffe and biographer of Anthony Burgess, Andrew Biswell, in discussion with LUX Director Benjamin Cook.
The films with be captioned, and the conversation will by ai captioned via Otter.ai
