Only a Matter of Time archiveOnce upon a time an Englishman met a Welshman in a field... he was there to tell him the right time. It's hard for us to imagine these days that in Victorian times Britain had a difference in time of half-an-hour from the eastern to the western extremities. The play begins with the arrival of an Englishman representing Brunel: he comes to tell the Welsh that due to railway expansion, time needs to be standardised. Plater's comedy tells of the consequences over the next 180 years. The play follows Alan's favoured method of taking deeply serious ideas and kicking them around the stage until the stuffing drops out!
