Preview: The Clockmaker

EAP has been hearing great things about Tarragon's 40th season opener, Stephen Massicotte’s latest work, The Clockmaker. The Globe and Mail, The Star and Now Weekly have all had good things to say about it and we wanted to take a moment and give you the information regarding the show.

The show is about a humble clockmaker who is besotted by a married woman who brings a shattered cuckoo clock into his shop. As he unravels the mystery of how the clock came to be destroyed, their relationship deepens and he vows to make her the most splendid clock the world has ever seen (Tarragon Theatre press release).

It sounds pretty interesting and according to many people who have seen it, what makes it so affecting is how thought provoking the piece proves to be.

Written by Stephen Massicotte. Directed by Bob White.
