Looking Through a Glass Onion

Overview

John Lennon's life has fascinated many around the world. From the silver screen, to lyrics and the traditional stage, many creative souls have decided to pay homage to the man who insired them. One such production is, Looking Through a Glass Onion, showing in Brisbane from 25 February to 2 March.

This is not the first time that the play has hit the stage. In 1992, John Waters and Stewart D'Arrietta performed the production at the Tillbury Hotel, Wooloomooloo. The two performers initially decided it would be a one-week producton, but due to high demand the stage show transformed into a six-week sell out season.

Waters plays Lennon in a way that doesn't seek to wholly imitate him, rather it encapsulates Lennon's differing personalities and various emotions to display a complex representation of a fascinating man. The performance features classics such as 'A Day in the Life', 'Strawberry Fields Forever', 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'Imagine'.
