ENTER LADY BEATLE
HE inspired all The Beatles songs about women and she lives here in Brisbane. Her name is Naomi Price and she’s a singer and actor. You may have heard of her but not known about her connection to The Beatles.
Have we got your attention? Good, then let me explain. Price’s new show, which will be part of La Boite Theatre Company’s season 2017 is entitled Lady Beatle and in it she plays a woman who imagines that she really did inspire all those Beatles songs. Price and her co-writer, Adam Brunes, are still busy writing the show and Brunes tells us Price’s character is living in a fantasy world where she imagines she is the muse of The Fab Four.
Under the banner of The Little Red Company, Brunes and Price have previously delivered us Rumour Has It ( a show about Adele) and Wrecking Ball (a show about Miley Cyrus) and both shows were huge hits. Next year we get Lady Beatle and it promises to be “a heady trip of psychedelic fun and magical entertainment, giving audiences the opportunity to rediscover The Beatles’ immortal catalogue” says Price who is a Pom by birth.
“My first encounter with the music of The Beatles was through my dad, Paul, who was born in Liverpool,” Price says. “He had a Beatles songbook and would play the songs on his guitar and so I taught myself my favourite songs.”
