Watford Palace Theatre presents

Two of Us

In 1976, tired of the spotlight, John Lennon chose to be a stay-at-home dad to his baby son, Sean.

Paul McCartney was number one all over the world with his new band, Wings, and about to embark on a global tour.

Once inseparable, both men were now worlds apart. Six years after the bitter break up of The Beatles, Paul paid a visit to John’s apartment in New York City.

Unannounced.

It would be the final time they EVER met.

Two of Us ruminates on what may have happened. Truths that may have been spoken and traumas that may have been shared. Their apologies and eulogies, what was said and what was left unsaid. It is the story of two working class boys who loved each other.

The production stars Barry Sloane (Yosser Hughes in Boys From The Black StuffGarrick Theatre; Captain Price (voice & motion capture) in Call of Duty; The Prodigal in The SandmanNetflix; Eddie Wells in PassengerITV) as John Lennon, and Jay Johnson (Stan in Nowhere Boy; Barry in Wishful Thinking, Unity Theatre LiverpoolMichael in Boiling Point; Tony Edge in Little Boy Blue, ITVas Paul McCartney.
