British Youth Music Theatre presents The Clockmaker’s City, written by Jonathan Ainscough (writer & co-lyricist) and Yshani Perinpanayagam (composer & co-lyricist).

Mainspring is a city run precisely to the tick and tock of the Clock. The Clock controls time itself, and as it ticks along, the townsfolk go about their business entirely synchronised to it. But time is about to be pushed to its limits as more minutes are squeezed into each hour and mystery surrounds the Central Horologium and its gently glowing Meridicore, the source of The Clock’s power.

Bursting with a cinematic, percussive score and dynamic movement, this brand-new musical invites families into a city on the brink of change. Audiences will be swept up in its big questions: what is the cost of constant productivity? How do we care for each other when our needs don’t always align? And how can society work for everyone?

Brought to life by BYMT’s extraordinary Young Company, this is an epic, heartfelt story about community, change and courage that can’t be measured by any Clock.
