Nowhere Man

See it if you enjoy the beatles and what to see a semi-true story about some behind the scenes stuff

Don't see it if a good concept, well executed but they could have done a bit more with it.

See it if Want to be surprised by a creative concept realized in a well written & well acted play. U are a Beatles fan & liked their Nowhere Man song.

Don't see it if U are not interested in the Beatles or demand accuracy of events. I think even non Beatles fans will enjoy this refreshing idea for a play.

Likewise, the acting all around was very strong, completely superb and compelling, (Especially with the play taking place in such a specific era!)

Moreover, even though the play explores the depths of a possible conspiracy theory reguarding Paul's stand-in, there were still quite a few lovely comedic moments, such as when a fan sneaks into "Paul's" flat through a bathroom window!

Nevertheless, go see it! It's certainly worth your time.... Read more Read less
