" The show is indeed visually stunning, re-creating the complex world and mechanism of the clock through intricate animated drawings, film projections and ingenuous stage design. With the addition of mesmerizing music, originally composed by Martin Ward and beautifully performed, the show feels heartfelt and passionate, touching our senses and emotions."

"a unique and hugely interesting exploration of the museum world can collide and feed into the creative arts"
Freddie Matthews, The British Museum
We were invited to host a symposium and exhibition in the Stevenson Lecture theatre to bring our diverse audiences togther with archivists, theatre venues and arts professionals. This was followed by an public event in the Clocks collection itself working with the curators from the Horology archive.

"We are always looking for new ways to bring our collections and the heritage of Doncaster to a wider public and working with Brolly brought us in to contact with a new audience and the opportunity to display collections that are usually in storage"
