If you had the chance to sit with your father one last time, knowing that in the morning he would be dead, would you take it, and if you did, what would you say? For Joe that night has come, but is it just too late? Told in flashback from the present day their story evolves against a backdrop of division and prejudice in a small Cheshire town where even the river divided the pre-war generation at birth. Add to this chapel versus church, grammar against secondary schooling, and you wonder what could make it any worse. Enter the Scousers; relocated as part of the urban clearances in Liverpool, seeking a new life and new opportunities they came in their thousands, thinking that the local Woollybacks would welcome them with open arms. They had no idea what they were heading for. Woollyback is a story of love, loss and lack of acceptance, but at its core is the extremely emotive, contemporary issue of assisted death.
