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.| 23 Mar 10 | Unity Theatre Liverpool, Merseyside Performance Details => Venue archive |
