A one-man show entitled “A Bard Day’s Night” is the brainchild of Chris O’Neill, who plays Sir Paul McCartney in a Beatles tribute band called Backbeat Beatles in the show. Words from Shakespeare’s sonnets and plays are put to the music of the Fab Four, making for an interesting combination. In explaining his inspiration for the show, O’Neill says:

“I woke up and wrote down all these ideas about the Beatles going back in time and meeting Shakespeare.” “I get my complete works of Shakespeare out and give myself some tasks – sometimes it might be a speech – and I just sit there with a piano.

“The speeches are harder to do, sometimes I can’t really get my head around the timings of how they are spoken,n but the sonnets seem to be very easy. They are perfect to put into music.”

I’d like to see this. Sounds so very unique!
