Dr. Matt Bera

Matt Bera, a CCGES Faculty Affiliate and Lecturer in York’s History Department, will be delivering an introductory lecture to Toronto Tarragon Theatre’s presentation of “The Clockmaker” (Stephen Massicotte) at 1 pm Saturday, September 25th, just prior to the matinee performance of the work.

Set in 1930’s Germany, the play tells the story of a humble clockmaker besotted by a married woman who brings a shattered cuckoo clock into his shop. As he unravels the mystery of how the clock came to be destroyed, their relationship deepens and he vows to make her the most splendid clock the world has ever seen.

A lecturer in German history at York, Dr. Bera’s talk is one of a series presented by Tarragon in which they invite a university professor to speak on their area of expertise related to the themes of the play.

A review of this production is found on the website of the Globe and Mail.
