Local actor Scott Rowan is taking the part of John Lennon while the play's director, Tracey Batchelor, will be playing Lennon's mother, Julia.
"It's set in the last year of Lennon's life when he is confronted by the ghosts of his past," explains Ridland,
It tries to explain how Lennon reached rock bottom before finding new inspiration and writing and recording his final album Double Fantasy.
Among the ghosts to confront him is former Beatle Stu Sutcliffe, an artist who died tragically early.
"The writer insists that the actor look right for the part which is quite slim and able to look aged around 21. It's a role we have been having problems filling."
