The Fastest Clock in the Universe



[Edited] Watched the play yesterday. It was an experimental play where it held at Pentas 2 that I've never been to. Pentas 2 was small with staging plastic chairs and it was free seatings. The people were piled up around the entrance in order to get the better viewed seat.

Before I begin, just let you know what the play is about - (Sources from KLPac)
The Fastest Clock in the Universe is the MUST SEE production of 2006. This multi award winning play by the equally awarded Philip Ridley, boasts a cast that is 'tailor-made' for this production.

The Fastest Clock in the Universe is a play on several levels. It tells the story of a 30-year-old who refuses to accept the fact that he ages on a yearly basis. This results in each birthday he celebrates being his 19th birthday.

Agonisingly funny, while at the same time frighteningly horrific, the play is sure to entertain even the most discerning theatre-goer. The one thing you must not do...is miss it!
Recommended for mature audiences only.

At first when I read what is the play about in the internet, I never expect the outcome.

The stage was designed with stuffed birds from dangle above the apartment and everywhere. Nice stage presented with antique not junk stuff. The first act acted by Gavin Yap as Cougar Glass with his half naked featured his six-pack body muscle, sunglasses, a pair of jean, black boots and puffing the cigarette while drinking a beer. Frankly, quite smelly the place with a lit of cigarette. Then there came in Ari Ratos as Captain Tock carrying a box of cake and Vocka. The language they spoke were quite vulgar with F*** words.

There were some obscene gestures during the play that you need to find your own. Heeheee.
Overall it was a nice play. Good performance Niki, Gavin Yap, Ari Ratos and Joanna Bessy (you're so cute in the act). :)
