An intimate exploration of what might have happened during the final meeting of two musical icons.
Adapted from Mark Stanfield’s highly praised screenplay of the same name, and the centrepiece of Steve Marmion’s first season at Watford Palace Theatre, Two Of Us is an intimate exploration of what might have happened during the final meeting of two musical icons. Starring Barry Sloane (Jerusalem; Boys From The Blackstuff; Call of Duty; Sandman) as John Lennon and Jay Johnson (Nowhere Boy; Wishful Thinking) as Paul McCartney. Audiences will be invited into a New York City apartment to witness the story of two working class boys who loved each other.
In 1976, tired of the spotlight, John Lennon chose to be a stay-at-home dad to his baby son, Sean.
Paul McCartney was number one all over the world with his new band, Wings, and about to embark on a global tour.
Once inseparable, both men were now worlds apart.
Six years after the bitter break-up of The Beatles, Paul paid a visit to John’s apartment in New York City.
Unannounced.
It would be the final time they EVER met.
A play about reunions and relationships, Two of Us ruminates on what may have happened. Truths that may have been spoken and traumas that may have been shared. Their apologies and eulogies, what was said and what was left unsaid.
The play is written by Mark Stanfield, Richard Short & Barry Sloane and directed by Scot Williams, with design by Amy Jane Cook, composition and sound design by Adrienne Quartly, lighting design by Katy Morrison, with audio and visuals by DMLK.
