Epstein: The Man who made the Beatles

SPUD Star to play “This Boy” in BEATLES play:  EPSTEIN The Man Who Made The Beatles, 

Studio Theatre, Montecasino from 12 August

Epstein: The Man Who Made The Beatles is a window into the private world of the music entrepreneur whose stellar career as Beatles Manager made him a household name yet whose controversial personal life remained very much in the closet. Brian died in 1967 of an accidental overdose at the age of 32.

This two-hander play imagines this brilliant but troubled man’s drug-fuelled final days whilst looking back upon his illustrious adult life and meteoric career from his drama school days to managing the world’s biggest pop group – a must-see opportunity to discover a previously unexplored story and celebrate a true icon of 1960’s popular culture – a man who shaped music and style across the world.

Starring Nicholas Pauling as Brian Epstein & Sven Ruygrok as “This Boy”, written by Andrew Sherlock, Directed by Fred Abrahamse and Designed by Marcel Meyer.

“Enthralling for those who were there (and still remember it) and for a new generation discovering their musical roots!” Whatsonstage.com

“A show of thought-provoking insight and raw emotion… an experience not to be missed!”  The Stage
