Lost Watches

Crash the dome, shatter the statues, burn this house to the ground!

Meet Allen: a young man who spends his days working dead-end jobs and watching mindless TV in a dusty work shed. Following the death of his mother, he is left with a family home he can’t afford and emotional trauma he can’t process. Then a sculpture of Beat poet William S. Burroughs starts talking to him…

With the arrival of the bailiffs imminent, a series of unexpected visits lead him down a delirious path of discovery. What will Allen sacrifice to move on?

Directed by Alex Helfrecht (The White King, A Winter’s Journey) written by Lorenzo Allchurch (Bollocks) and featuring the voice of Emmy and Golden Globe award nominated Jason Isaacs, this hypnotic new play collides grief, comedy and poetry in a bizarre, confronting and gloriously offbeat world.
