Summary

A unique poetic work, about which historians and critics, philosophers and even adherents of various mystical and esoteric teachings are desperately arguing about. Hell is a colossal funnel of concentric circles, the tapering end of which is adjacent to the center of the earth. Having passed the threshold of hell, in which the souls of indecisive, insignificant people dwell, they enter the first circle of hell – the limb. In the earthly paradise, Dante meets Beatrice, seated on a chariot drawn by a vulture.

    A stunningly ambitious work from one of the UK's most influential playwrights.
    Someone sneezes. Someone can't get a signal. Someone shares a secret. Someone won't answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone's not ready to talk. Someone is her brother's mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone's never felt like this before.
    In this fast-moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know. Premiered at the Royal Court in September 2012.
    'This exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope... What is extraordinary about Churchill is her capacity as a dramatist to go on reinventing the wheel' The Guardian
    'The wit, invention and structural integrity of Churchill's work are remarkable... She never does the same thing twice' The Telegraph
    'A wonderful web of complex emotions, memories, secrets and facts' A Younger Theatre

    In River of Rhyme, Roger Blakiston goes deeply into his quest for the meaning of life and connection to source. His inspirational poetry spans a wide variety of topics. He takes you on an exciting and enchanting journey into magical worlds, some fantasy, and others very real. You will encounter mystical realms of Angels, Wizards, Mermaids, Fairies, Elves, and Gnomes, as well as discover your own inner light that may have remained dormant for a while. 
    Some of his poems are in storybook form and frequently contain spiritual messages between the lines. The aim with his poetry is to inspire his listeners to think outside the box and be left with a positive feeling that, despite any darkness that may appear to be happening in their lives, there is always hope as they journey forward. His wish is to assure them that beyond the veil there is a passage to a place of peace, love, and joy. 
    He believes that River of Rhyme, his fifth book, is his most profound, powerful, and life-changing book to date. Roger is a trained actor and professional magician, with a soothing, theatrical British voice.
