Northern Outlet Theatre Company announces its forthcoming double-bill will tour fringe venues in Carlisle, Liverpool and Manchester this November.

John And Mark is a new play by George Gunby about a musical legend and his killer. Set in the cell of a New York maximum security prison, the play sees prisoner Mark David Chapman visited by John Lennon, the man he shot dead years earlier outside the Dakota building.

Within the confines of a prison cell, the play offers an insight into the mind of the man who started a fan and became a fanatic. Touching on issues of love, loss, faith and obsession, the play gives Lennon the opportunity to ask the question that has puzzled millions of people across the world since December 8, 1980.
