Speakbeast Someone Has Got to Be John
Theatre
14+
Speakbeast are doing a tribute act – and we think we’re doing a pretty convincing job. Paul is telling everyone how to stand. George keeps quitting and coming back. And nobody knows what Ringo’s on about. And if you really squint, we almost look like the real thing. But something is missing. And he keeps trying to get in. From Binge Fringe Queer Performer's Award winners Speakbeast, SHGTBJ is a fever dream we've been having about transmedicalism. About breakups. About separating reality from realness. And about separating The Beatles from John.
