Emily Woof has penned and performs this play about three women for Shared Experience.  Jane in the present day, used to be a teacher but now is a writer and researcher for a television programme she is pitching about female fandom in the 1960s. 

The programme is centred on her Liverpudlian mother, Helen’s love for the Beatles and John Lennon.  Jane’s mother has died recently and Jane is clearing out her things when she finds fantasy letters from her mother to John Lennon planning a life with him, when he divorces Cynthia.  She finds in the LPs a copy of the Beatles’s seventh LP which many now find 

The third woman is the paranoid schizophrenic Valerie Solanas who founded SCUM, the Society for Cutting Up Men. She was the woman who took a revolver to The Factory and shot Andy Warhol and another man. It seems that she felt Warhol had taken ownership of her play about prostitution “Up Your Ass” and was stifling it.  Woof plays Solanas in a Beatles’ leather cap and leather jacket.
