The Fastest Clock in the Universe

U.S. Premiere

The Fastest Clock in the Universe tells the story of Cougar Glass’ 19th birthday. His best friend, Captain Tock, has spared no expense providing all necessary party favors: a delectable cake, pointy hats, birthday cards from all the sexiest people, and red meat. Cougar himself has only invited a single guest, the adorable Foxtrot Darling, and may be too busy doting on him to notice your presence. But, parties are inevitably meant to be crashed, and when, subsequently, the crashing commences, Mr. Glass starts to sweat as the illusion on which his entire identity is balanced goes up in flames. The Fastest Clock in the Universe is a devilish romper room of a play which explores the difficulty inherent in appreciating our passing birthdays.
