Book

In the light of the ongoing Coronavirus situation, it is with sadness that the 2020 Aldeburgh Festival has been cancelled, and consequently this performance has also been cancelled. For more information on the festival's cancellation please visit the Snape Maltings website

In a muddied nightdress, in a country kitchen, Violet finally smiles. For years her tired daily routine has been dictated by the constant chime of the Clock Tower. Tick tock. Take your tablets. Tick tock. Husband will be home soon. Until the night she feels time quicken. An hour disappears. Every day. And she’s never felt more alive. A new and first opera from writer Alice Birch and composer Tom Coult.
