A Matter Of Time is a hilarious but affectionate look at the modern family as it copes with today's fast-paced and chaotic world . Welcome to the Kidney family! They have one dog, six gerbils, a cat, two rabbits, a bird, two kids, too much work, and too little time!
On the surface all seems well, but underneath pressures are building and conflicts are brewing. Liz and Ron (mom and dad) have stopped communicating. She feels overwhelmed and under-appreciated at home; he feels exactly the same at work. She feels “distances” between them; he hasn’t noticed. Thirteen year old Olivia has suddenly become the teenager who apparently isn’t listening to anyone any more, and the effervescent ten year old Stacy, as the play progresses, gradually becomes more and more withdrawn. Meanwhile, Grandad, who lost his life-long soul mate to cancer the year before, is going through his own personal crisis and facing a decision which could change the family forever.
With its powerful blend of humor and emotion, A Matter Of Time swings effortlessly between comedy and drama. It's an engaging story about the love, laughter and lunacy of family dynamics, as the Kidney’s struggle towards a new perspective which will allow them to re-connect and once again find the way to live happily in “time”.
