The most famous pop group in the world was managed by a Liverpudlian Jew, Brian Epstein. Now, a new play at London’s Kiln Theatre tells his story in Please Please Me. We’ll be (virtually) visiting the Fab Four’s old stomping grounds, like The Cavern Club, and celebrating all things Beatles.
Featuring
Tom Wright, playwright of Please Please Me, an ‘electrifying new production about the fifth Beatle’;
Brigit Grant, screenwriter of Midas Man, the recent British biographical film about Brian Epstein;
Les Lancaster, emeritus professor at Liverpool John Moores University and a member of the Jewish community that the Epstein family called home;
Linda Grant, award-winning novelist and former Guardian feature writer, who once shared a cuppa with Paul McCartney’s dad.
Plus, find out how one of the JR team’s family members influenced the lyrics of a Beatles song!
