Forward Theater Company "Mom, How did you meet the Beatles?"
MOM, HOW DID YOU MEET THE BEATLES?
by Adrienne Kennedy & Adam P. Kennedy
September 9 - 26, 2021
Directed by Baron Kelly
REGIONAL PREMIERE
THE PLAY
It’s the Swinging ‘60s in London, and American playwright Adrienne Kennedy finds herself among the rich and ultra-famous when she’s hired to write a stage version of John Lennon’s new book. Told in an interview-style conversation between Kennedy and her son, this autobiographical play shares her sense of awed wonder as she tries to hold her artistic ground in a patriarchal world of show business luminaries.
“Allows us effortless access into Adrienne’s memory, which has been painted with a loving faithfulness that makes London into newly explored territory... …the writing is impressively detailed and echoes with the same poetry of the prosaic that defines (her) best works.”
- Talkin' Broadway
