Time and Place

Drumm, a married civil servant with intellectual and and artistic leanings, visits his Dalkey neighbour, Mary, for the first time in six years. Mary describes her new kitchen - but when she takes him into it, it is as it was 40 years ago and seated at the table is her young self. From then on, the lives of four people, their intermingled relationships, the whims of chance and clashes of personality which affected their destinies are recounted by a method which mingles past and present as the play moves back and forth over 40 years, from the late 1930s to the 1970s.
