This is one of the most moving songs ever written and recorded by the Beatles and its voice will be brought to life in a series of breath-taking but intimate performances inside real Liverpool homes. Expect a very special experience.
The play, written by Keith Saha and performed by young Liverpool actress Brodie Arthur, explores themes around housing, what home means, and the feeling of being without a home.
It has been researched and developed with young adults in Liverpool, and will feature the company’s trademark fusion of performance, specially commissioned live music played by Semay Wu and puppetry by Alison Duddle performed by Zoe Hunter
