Clinkerstone is a captivating drama that follows musician Sean Gallagher on his quest to uncover the missing fragments of a melancholy piano sonata. After a chance encounter with its composer, Sean embarks on a musical detective story that delves into how memories are intertwined with the music we create.

A series of unfortunate events leads him to meet Charles Peccatte, an eccentric pianist and composer. Together, they navigate the complexities of creativity and memory, culminating in a poignant collaboration.
Featuring the music of Paddy Glackin and Dearbhla Collins, this play is a rich exploration of the connections between music and personal history, ultimately leading Sean to confront his own past.
