The Clockmaker

John Swayze Theatre
9431 Silver King Court Fairfax

When Frieda brings Heinrich her husband's beloved cuckoo clock to be repaired, they embark on a race against time to solve a mysterious puzzle. Part comic love story, part murder mystery, The Clockmaker is an entrancing look at how relationships can change how we see the world, that the time we spend with people can be hell or heaven on earth.

"...Story nails both the comedy and the awkward pathos of Heinrich, whose asthmatic voice sometimes skids into anxious chirps, and whose body, dressed in rumpled tweed, often seems white-knuckle tense with awkwardness or suspicion. In eyepopping contrast to the clockmaker is Bassett’s unnervingly steely Pierre — a sleekly gray-suited figure, right out of “The Trial,” who has a knack of sitting at a table so that the arrangement of his posture, hands and parted hair appears perfectly symmetrical. (Maria Vetsch designed the costumes.)"

It takes a real master to successfully blend comedy, romance, crime drama, and metaphysical mystery into a single play. Fortunately, talented Canadian playwright Stephen Massicotte is just such a master and his gem of a play, The Clockmaker, receives an equally skillful DC area premiere at The Hub Theatre.
