WE CAN WORK IT OUT

$5.40 – $15.00

Over the course of one boozy night in 1966, John, Paul, George and Ringo confront their past, future and the place their music has in the world. As egos clash and demons are revealed it soon becomes clear that the Beatles may be on a dangerous collision course. Can they right the ship before they fall apart for good?

Fierce, funny and poignant, We Can Work It Out is the account of something that probably never happened but very easily could have.

EXTRACT: They used to come so naturally, you know? Youâ€™re driving, youâ€™re walking and a tune pops in your head. Or a string of words. And I was so excited. Iâ€™d run home to write them down or call you all and get your thoughts. I was never scared to sit for hours plucking at my guitar and writing stuff down because I just felt like the stuff was coming to me out of nowhere, like some kind of magical fucking spring.
