Stop the Clocks

A Tin Box Theatre site-specific production at the Coffin Works, Birmingham 2011

In this intimate promenade performance, an audience of ten witnessed remarkable stories from a seemingly ordinary life. An immersive and sensory experience, Stop the Clocks incorporated live music, puppetry and one to one performance.

Stop the Clocks was the first performance to take place in Newman Brothers Coffin Fittings Factory, which closed in 1998 and is now the Coffin Works, owned by the Birmingham Conservation Trust.

“One of the most uplifting and life-affirming pieces I have seen in a long while…

we came out, barely a dry eye among us; all of us charmed, thoughtful, and joyful…

the two Jos are ones to watch out for in the future”
