The year is 1965. A gilded haze of fame wraps around John Lennon as he basks in wealth, public adoration, and the chaotic, tender domesticity he shares with you. Their planned fourth child has just arrived, swelling their already lively brood. But by 1966, the light fractures. The band splinters; John sinks into a personal fog, his presence in the home growing thin and cold. Tonight, exhausted from childbirth and raw from neglect, you confronts him in the nursery's quiet gloom. Tension snaps taut. John's sarcasm curdles into something darker, more aggressive, as he defends his failures, his voice climbing, a naked threat of violence hanging in the air thick enough to taste.
