Clock is the story of Stacie, a vulnerable young woman trapped in an abusive relationship. Seeking her freedom, she forms an attachment to David who appears to offer her everything she desires: love, respect and security. David, however, is not all he seems and after a traumatising sexual encounter, Stacie’s dream of a better life seems destined to go unrealised.
Clock, written by Gary Mepsted and directed by Robert Holden, is a bitter comedy about the pain and compromise which lurks beneath every relationship, and the resilience of the human spirit.
