The Fastest Clock in the Universe is the 'Must See' production of 2006.

This multi award winning play by the equally awarded Philip Ridley, boasts a cast that is 'tailor-made' for this production. The Fastest Clock in the Universe is a play on several levels. It tells the story of a 30-year-old who refuses to accept the fact that he ages on a yearly basis. This results in each birthday he celebrates being his 19th birthday.

Agonisingly funny, while at the same time frighteningly horrific, this play is sure to entertain even the most discerning theatre-goer. The one of thing you must not do...is miss it!
