The One-Handed Clock
The words in this piece, The One-Handed Clock, are taken from The Escalator and arranged, produced and directed by Simon Peecock with the help of actors Malcolm James, Alexandra Turchyn, Nathan Weller, Priscilla Gray and Daniel Johns.
There is love as well as doubt in this short film. Love and uncertainty are themes, too, of Robert Harris’s novel Conclave, and the recent film of his book. Perhaps literature, film, music and fine art (Picasso’s Guernica was in response to nationalist, Nazi and Fascist bombing) are best placed to reveal our common humanity and balance out violence, certainty, hatred and bigotry.
