Creative differences and bad blood split the Beatles, and now, it seems history is repeating itself in the tribute circuit. Dave is Elvis Presley and Angie is Marilyn Monroe, but Byron and Cheryl have ditched hairspray for mop tops with a new act as John Lennon and Yoko Ono. With five minutes to go before the Wolverhampton Regional Talent Championships, can the boys learn to forgive and forget, or will Cheryl and Angie be prising their childish husbands off one another? 

Written by Bath-based creative Clare Reddaway, I Don’t Want to Be Yoko Ono returns to Burdalls Yard for a night of chaos and laughter.
