The Fastest Clock in the Universe

Cougar Glass, a thirty year old narcissistic predator, afraid of aging, celebrates his nineteenth birthday year after year in a hope of staying young forever. He prays on naïve young teens and lures them back to his grimy East End flat above an old fur factory, where he plies them with alcohol.

He lives with his partner, the precise (and bird obsessed) Captain Tock, who Cougar relies on to help him maintain his youth as he has no youth left to give himself.

Into the equation comes the naïve, emotionally confused Foxtrot Darling, a sixteen year old school boy, who has just lost his brother and sees Cougar as a replacement figure.

Cougar's nasty plan is working fine until the Captain refuses to leave and Sherbert Gravel, Foxtrot's brothers pregnant ex-girlfriend arrives with her own agenda.

The Fastest Clock in the Universe was hailed by The Observer as “admirable, astonishingly cool, drawing attention to improbability while at the same time - against all the odds - preserving a sense of reality.”

Narcissus are a brand new company, with a fresh voice. The Fastest Clock In The Universe will be their first production as a group, although individually the members of the group have a wealth of experience within different companies locally and further afield.
