Where were you when John Lennon was shot? How did you feel upon hearing your first Beatles’ song?

The play takes place in the street in front of the Manhattan apartment house where John Lennon was shot to death. Deeply moved and shocked by this awful event, many New Yorkers spontaneously assembled there to pay tribute to their slain idol, and it is from the interwoven stories of a cross section of these people that the play is written. We’re transported back to that December 1980 day of mourning when the songs of an era took on sad, new ironies, and when no one could think of the right words to express an inexplicable loss.

The Beatles are possibly the most influential band of the 20th century. Today their music still has the power and passion it had when first released, and while it would seemingly appeal to the generation before us, The Day They Shot John Lennon is as meaningful to this generation as to those of the last.
