Brian Epstein and The Beatles. Their rise. His fall.
When Brian Epstein steps into the Cavern Club, he finds more than just a band - he finds his life's calling. Captivated by the charismatic frontman, John Lennon, Brian sets out to make the Fab Four the most famous group on earth.
But beyond the spotlight, he wrestles with secrets, longing, and love.
Please Please Me is the electrifying story of the hidden struggles of Brian Epstein - the unsung, gay legend and 'Fifth Beatle'.
This edition was published to coincide with the Kiln Theatre production in April 2026.
