In 1950 in the wake of the Second World War, Robert Schuman, the French Foreign Minister, attempts to secure a permanent peace in Europe by putting his name to a controversial plan to unite it economically. Fifty five years on, is he turning in his grave? Tim Luscombe's play tells the extraordinary story of Bill Bretherton - a passionate Europhile - and the colourful personalities that alternately confirm and erode his idealism. Back-stabbing politicians, volatile Suffolk fisherman, fraudulent Sicilian Mafiosi, his old pal Teddy Heath and the girl from the Ministry whom he loves to the end - all play their part in this revealing epic that spans five decades but just one continent.
