Set in the fictional Irish town of Spindlewood, The Clockmaker’s Daughter is a musical fairytale built around themes of prejudice, discrimination, animosity and a fear of the unknown. Like most towns of age, Spindlewood has its traditions. But no practice, custom or old wives’ warning is so firmly adhered to as ‘The Turning of the Key’.
