This results in each birthday he celebrates being his 19th birthday. A modern day Dorian Gray, but much darker, violent and disturbing. For mature audiences only.

The Fastest Clock in the Universe is Philip Ridley's second play which opened at Hampstead Theatre, playing to both critical acclaim and box office success. He went on to win the 1992 Evening Standard Most Promising Newcomer Award, one of the 1992 Time Out Theatre Awards, the prestigious Meyer Whitworth Award for New Theatre Writing 1992 and the 1992 Critics' Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright.
