The 2009 film, based on the autobiography "Imagine This: Growing Up With My Brother John Lennon" by Julia Baird, chronicles the adolescence of Lennon, his relationships with his guardian aunt and his birth mother, the creation of his first band and the beginnings of the Beatles. Rupert Goold (Enron, Macbeth), who will direct the stage production, producer Sally Greene (Billy Elliot: The Musical) and Ecosse Films ("Nowhere Boy") are looking for an original score for the stage adaptation before they proceed.
