Heartbroken by the loss of his adolescent daughter, master clockmaker Abraham builds a replacement from gears, springs, and grief. He is astonished when she comes to life. Learning at an exponential rate, Constance quickly becomes a marvel—brilliant, curious, and extraordinary—but Abraham fears that loving her means inevitably losing her once again.

Yearning to experience the world beyond her creator’s workshop, Constance explores her small late-19th-century Irish town, where her remarkable talent as a dressmaker earns admiration and acclaim. Yet not everyone is willing to embrace what they do not understand, and suspicion begins to grow among the townspeople.

This innovative “new” musical was originally written with the intention of a worldwide release in 2015. Unable to compete with the unprecedented phenomenon of HAMILTON, the production was shelved. Over the next five years, the show quietly developed a devoted cult following—hopes that were heartbreakingly dashed when its long-awaited premiere was canceled by COVID-19 in the spring of 2020. Though it has been produced only a handful of times, the musical is deeply cherished by those who know it.

With a major UK tour on the horizon, Mountain View High School’s production is expected to be the final licensed staging for several years—making this a rare and extraordinary opportunity to experience the show anywhere in the world.
