A short play about John Lennon and Paul McCartney by Dublin playwright Stephen Kennedy has been selected for three performances at this year's Beatles Festival in Liverpool.

Lennon v McCartneyis a two-man show that "sorts out the argument once and for all". Before its Liverpool run, it'll debut at Temple Bar's New Theatre from April 5th-10th, along with two other plays by Kennedy.
