The Clock Master

Produced by Sparkle and Dark Theatre Company between 2009-2011

The Clock Master toured between 2009 and 2011 to venues such as The Roundhouse, The Point, The Lowry and festivals including Latitude, Camden Fringe and Brighton Fringe.

When a stubborn young girl enters a shop of clockwork wonders, she soon finds herself lost amongst the Clock Master's strange stories of magic and music boxes! Of minstrels and monkeys! Of clockwork girls and paper birds!

A visually enchanting tale performed with a highly physical ensemble, live music, projected animation and moments of puppet-peril! But first you must ask yourself; Can I really trust a storyteller?

“Louisa Ashton’s wonderful, poetic language comprises the world of ‘The Clock Master’ in a performance not to be missed. ‘The Clock Master’ stimulates our imagination, moves us and makes us wonder!”

Remote Goat

“These are beautifully crafted stories of magic and invention... this is still one of the best shows you’re likely to see in the Fringe, whatever your age.”

Buxton Review

“The craftsmanship of this show makes it a cut above, in its richly detailed physical production values and in its witty script, full of unforced rhyming...”

Total Theatre

"A charming and wonderfully imaginative show... a feast for the eyes (and ears) for those who love storytelling."
