This show features two short plays – ‘Lennon v McCartney’ and ‘John Lennon’s Last Day’.
‘Lennon v McCartney’
Since the dawn of Time human beings have gathered in pubs and argued about who is greater – John Lennon or Paul McCartney. Now, finally, here at last, and not a moment too soon, is a short play that definitively sorts out the argument once and for all. Well... sort of... This play was performed a number of times on the main stage at the Adelphi in Liverpool at the 2010 International Beatle Week and at various other music festivals.
'Fabulously written and brilliantly acted. This is an acute observation of pub culture, pop culture and male friendship' - Dublin Book Festival 2011.
'John Lennon’s Last Day' performed by Seamus Brennan
This piece is the most complete account of John Lennon's last day that has ever been presented. Best described as a work of 'documentary theatre', through a single actor, a simple stage set, projected images, and a selection of very rare audio clips, the audience is taken on a journey through the strange and tragic events of John Lennon's last day.
