Gone for a Burton

Set in the South Wales steel town of Port Talbot, this is a tale of love, pride, ambition and the lengths that one man will go to put his town, rugby team and his country firmly on the map.

Our unlikely Hero is Turpin Thrust, a disaffected council clerk, fed up with the degradation of his beloved home town and its rugby team, and wanting to restore them to their former glory. How does he plan to do this? Well, by bringing home one of the town’s most famous sons – Richard Burton – and opening a theme park in his name.

The only problem is of course that said Mr Burton is currently located in a churchyard in Switzerland! Undeterred, Turpin and his pals plan to travel to Switzerland to bring him back and create a fitting momentum. There follows a hilarious

account of real life in a town that is lost in time.
