Rhyme Without Reason To Rome And BackRhyme Without Reason
Synopsis:
Recently bereaved, but cheerfully suicidal, John is visited by his concerned son. The offspring wants the parent to overcome his fatalistic urges and believes a review of his father's earlier attempts at poetry would be good therapy. He is wrong.Through them he relives his time: the people and the places he knew, the attitudes, the hopes and the beliefs he once held, and how his greatest love was always the city of his birth. a piece that looks at how loving concern can turn to boiling anger, how familial empathy leads to relative resentment, how a father and son grow apart by being close, Rhyme Without Reason, shows how a Liverpool father and son handle the eternal question of how to deal with life's traumas - by just having a right kick off! He still kills himself, but has a bloody good laugh before he goes! a comedy with serious bits.

Synopsis:
a great train journey across Europe with football triumph, overcrowded carriages, waterless toilets, cheap wine, the beautiful Rhine Valley, the wonder of the alps and the primary symptoms of dysentery. No greater train journey has been undertaken than the one that departed from Liverpools Lime Street station in May 1977 bound for the eternal city, Rome. at the other end of the line Bob Paisleys Keegan-inspired Liverpool standing against the might of Borussia Monchengladbach. a tale of human perseverance.
