When His Watch Stopped

Sadari Theatre Company (Korea)

A beautiful and moving story about the conflict of war, When His Watch Stopped is simply and specifically told for children. A newly married couple are forced to part at the outbreak of war; accompanied by the ticking sounds of a watch, their parting gift to each other. Their separate journeys are followed from life, to death, to the final ticking of the watch.

Combining symbolic rendering, pantomime style theatre and imaginative use of photographs, this is a beautiful story narrated by three performers. This interactive production expands the realm of children’s theatre providing them with an opportunity to vocalise their thoughts on the weighty issue of war.
