Joe Orton's unfinished screenplay, written for the Beatles in 1967 and adapted for radio by John Retcher. Orton was found dead on the very day he was to meet director Richard Lester about the making of the film. In this first production of the play, Blur's Damon Albarn provides a musical link to the original Beatles casting. Adrift in a world run by monstrous tweed-suited women shod in thick leather brogues, three men decide to start a worldwide revolution to overthrow the matriarchy. By turns funny, moving, sexual and surreal, the play celebrates the ferocity of Orton's farce, the music of the Beatles and the Summer of Love. With Allan Mitchell, Edward Halstead, Mark Webb, John Gielgud and Joe Dowling
