A surreal tale of grief and grit, set in a sculptor’s shed, from Lost Watch’s world of Beat poetry and dreams.
Set in a cluttered work shed on the verge of repossession, the play follows Allen, a grieving man caught between the weight of loss and the fear of change. After his mother’s death, Allen withdraws from the world, living among dusty relics of the past, unable to let go. As he clings to routine and denial, strange figures begin to appear—some familiar, others surreal—ushering in a chaotic, poetic weekend that challenges his grip on reality and forces him to confront buried truths.
The production blends elements of Beat poetry, surrealism, and absurdist theatre. Characters blur the line between real and imagined—including a grumpy flatmate who may be a living sculpture—as Allen’s inner turmoil plays out through a series of unexpected, often bizarre encounters.
