Lost Watches featuring Jason Isaacs Comes to London’s Park Theatre
July 17, 2025
Lost Watches is a gripping, surreal new play featuring the voice of Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus, Harry Potter) written by emerging playwright Lorenzo Allchurch (Bollocks), and directed by award-winning filmmaker and theatre director Alex Helfrecht (The White King, A Winter’s Journey).
A darkly comic meditation on memory, mental health, and mourning, the show will run in Park Theatre’s intimate Park90 space from July 30th – August 23rd.
Following his mother’s death and his father’s absence, Allen is left, barely an adult, with a house he cannot pay off and emotional trauma he doesn’t know how to process. However, on the weekend before his family home is due to be repossessed, Allen receives a series of unexpected visits that lead him down a dark path of discovery. Over one hallucinatory weekend, Allen is visited by ghosts and converses with a sculpted head of Beat Generation author William Burroughs as he confronts the emotional wreckage of a past he can no longer repress.
A genre-defying psychological absurdist drama, Lost Watches blends rich theatrical language with biting wit and gut-punch emotion. It asks:
-
Can the dead help us heal, or do they just linger in the dust?
-
What happens when we can’t distinguish memory from invention?
-
And how do we let go – of people, places, pain – before it consumes us?
It’s a story of haunting memory and fractured identity, told with surreal humour and emotional intensity. Lost Watches is a ghost story for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in time.
