Music by Lennon & McCartney and  John Lennon

The Beatles’ success hardly conciliates with the desire for a quiet family life.

John Lennon’s first wife Cynthia, who shares with her husband maybe the most brilliant period of his musical career, tells this struggle.

His youth in Liverpool, the almost unexpected fame of The Beatles, the sudden pregnancy, their life that quickly changed, the comforts but also the pain of betrayal with Yoko Ono, the separation and the difficult life after her divorce from Lennon, are the main contents of this reading.

The recorded echoes of “outtakes” music will accompany Lucilla Giannoni, adding emotion to the reading.
