Epstein: The Man Who Made The Beatles is the untold story of music entrepreneur Brian Epstein, whose stellar career as Beatles Manager made him a household name yet whose controversial personal life remained in the closet. Acclaimed stage and TV star Andrew Lancel (Coronation Street, The Bill) and actor Will Finlason return to the roles of Epstein and 'This Boy', which they each received rave reviews at the Liverpool premiere in 2012. The two-hander play imagines this brilliant but troubled man's drug-fuelled final days in his Belgravia apartment whilst looking back upon his illustrious meteoric career from drama school days to managing the world's biggest pop group - a must-see opportunity to discover an unexplored stage play of a true icon of 1960's popular culture - a man who shaped music and style across the world. Brian Epstein died in 1967 of an accidental overdose at the age of 32.
