Liverpool Fantasy

About this event

Liverpool Fantasy Play The Beatles split up because of a dispute over their second single. ("Til There Was You" was chosen instead of "Please Please Me.") John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr returned to Liverpool while Paul McCartney launched a solo career and gained international fame as the crooner Paul Montana. Montana has resided in Las Vegas for the last 25 years. While on a tour of Britain in 1987, he decides to bury the hatchet and visit his former colleagues. Without the Beatles as catalysts there were far less social and political changes in the 60's. The Play deals with the question of parallel lives of displaced destinies. In this Play we deal with the consequences of one slip from the path of their principles. It could quite easily have happened and sent them all on parallel lives. That it didn’t is a tribute to this remarkable group of Individuals. But suppose it did…then LIVERPOOL FANTASY is one distinct possibility. Liverpool Fantasy first performed at the Charas Theatro La Terraza, New York City by Theatreworkers in May/June 1986 and subsequently at the Unity Theatre, Liverpool by A&P Productions in 2003: Liverpool Echo Review of Liverpool Fantasy 2003: I always thought that everything that could be written, staged or filmed about the Beatles had been done. But, urged on by friends to go and see Liverpool Fantasy at the Unity Theatre Liverpool, I discovered I was wrong.
