Summary:Yes, it's the musical that's been waiting to happen: The Beatles meet up with William Shakespeare to produce...wait for it... A Bard Day's Night. Scot Williams - fresh from playing the young priest in TV drama Lillies - plus two long time associates, Chris O'Neill and Ian Hart - want to stage the show in Liverpool for Capital of Culture. The trio first worked together when they starred in the Beatles Hamburg era movie Backbeat, Scot playing Pete Best, Chris George Harrison, and Ian John Lennon. "They end up as players in Shakespeare's troupe," reveals Scot. "People forget that Shakespeare himself was very musical and wrote many songs for some of his plays."
