Resilience, Steadfastness, and a stiff upper lip - Eleanor Rigby embodies
the great Britain of old. This potent moving blend of history and pop culture
includes pivotal characters such as Father McKenzie, The Queen, Mr. Piggy, the
Children of Liverpool, and, of course, That Fool on the Hill.
Depicting the resurrection and resilience of a post-war nation, Eleanor
Rigby pulls the accumulated weight of her past through the boisterous streets
of Liverpool. Unnoticed by the throng, she goes her own way, a solitary face
in a busy crowd. Interpretation of key characters from The Beatles musical and
historical narratives emerge. Interwoven in this homage to The Beatles tragic
heroine are hints of "Julia," "Strawberry Fields Forever", "A Day in the Life",
and sound effects from "Revolution 9".
