Adult cast; all named present-day characters are adults; the youngest character with an age stated is thirty-five, and two adults are not assigned ages in the script. No sexual content, no violence, no threat and no disaster. Notices: a dead father, Amos Prendergast, whose tools and hard-backed book are the subject of the work and who is never seen; four siblings who have not all been in one room since a hospital in Kent in 2011; a mother of eighty-four who is owed an answer; a steel watch whose balance staff is pitted by a fall down stairs in 1971 and cannot be made new; a debt settled in 2019 without the person it was taken from being told; and a repairer who moved a client's remittance through her own account and left page one hundred and forty of her job book blank, which a young apprentice may or may not have worked out. Nobody dies during the present events; the father whose tools are discussed died before the story begins, nobody is ill, there is no fire, no emergency, no hearing, no inquiry and no lawsuit, and there is no deadline beyond a Sunday lunch. Nothing supernatural happens anywhere in it. The worst thing that happens is that four siblings want four different watches, and the most consequential thing is an eight-hundredth-of-a-millimetre file line inside a case back.
