'The Empty Clock' was the third story in Hermetic Arts' 2019 live show: ANTHOLOGY.

'These stories will have you on the edge of your seats. …This extraordinarily talented duo shine darkly… So what if their material gives you nightmares? These are bad dreams that make you think.' ★★★★★ The Spy in the Stalls

'This is rewarding storytelling: respecting the audience’s intelligence, invisibly delivering exposition and easily holding everyone’s attention … Full-throated existential horror.' ★★★★★ London City Nights
