August 29th, 1966 - The Beatles play their last ever live concert at Candlestick Park. 🎸

60 years later, to the day, Of All These Friends and Lovers closes in Liverpool - a “moving tribute” to The Beatles’ legacy. We have been overwhelmed by the response to our latest production, and are so privileged to tell the stories of one of history’s most fascinating relationships.

It certainly isn’t “The End” of the “Long and Winding Road” for this production, but for now, at least thank you for all of your support - we’ll see you round the clubs!

Meet John Lennon.
He is 23 years old and suddenly one of the most famous men alive. Quick-witted, provocative and impossible to pin down, John’s swagger disguises a man struggling beneath the extraordinary weight of becoming an icon. In public, he’s the sharp-tongued Beatle who always has an answer. Behind closed doors, the mask begins to slip…

In Of All These Friends and Lovers, we find John at the beginning of a new era, caught between the man the world already thinks it knows and the person underneath.

Meet Brian Epstein.
At just 29, he has transformed four Liverpool musicians into the biggest band in the world. Immaculate, ambitious and fiercely protective of his boys, Brian is the architect behind The Beatles — but behind the carefully constructed public image lies a man forced to conceal much of his own.

In Of All These Friends and Lovers, we meet Brian away from the press conferences and screaming crowds: witty, perceptive, complicated, and perhaps the one person capable of seeing John Lennon for who he truly is.
