Clocks and Whistles

Origin Theatre Company presents the American premiere of the award-winning London hit Clocks and Whistles. Samuel Adamson’s play is about three London twenty-somethings involved in an unconventional love triangle that blurs the boundaries between friendship, love, and sexual identity. Talya Klein directs.

Clocks and Whistles centers around Henry, an introverted young man who’s making the first tentative steps toward considering himself gay. Despite this, he remains infatuated with his best friend Anne, an aspiring actress who’s as outgoing as Henry is shy. When Henry develops a strong attraction to the hedonistic and free-wheeling Trevor, they begin to see each other — until the bisexual Trevor meets Anne and the two begin a secret affair. Confronted by this betrayal, Henry finds himself caught between his interest in Trevor, his deep feelings for Anne, and the fear of losing both of them forever.
