I used to work for a theatre supplies company, and theatres tend to use
15A (round pin) plugs and sockets rather than 13A (rectangular pin) ones. 
Given the rubber plugs and sockets generally in use, it was not uncommon to
find a 13A plug forced into a 15A socket.  (Not in a theatre I hasten to
add - more likely by someone in an amdram company.)
