BESTBEAT is a musical play set in Liverpool in the early 1960s.  The time of the Merseybeat scene. It’s 1962 and Pete Best plays drums with a local group called The Beatles… He was with them all through the early Hamburg days and  the auditions at Decca and EMI , and  some said he was the most popular in the group with the fans. Beat groups play rock ‘n’ roll in dance halls and clubs like the Cavern.
Using drama , humour  and a live band playing original songs , BESTBEAT tells the fascinating story of The Beatles’ original drummer Pete Best , and what happened to him one fateful day in August 1962 when fame and fortune beckoned …
After sell-out shows at the Unity Theatre  in summer 2018, BESTBEAT now goes on to a tour of venues across Liverpool and Merseyside, including original Merseybeat dance venues like the Grosvenor Ballroom in Wallasey and the Orrell Park Ballroom.
BESTBEAT is written and directed by award-winning Liverpool writer/musician Frank Duffy, who has had work  performed on radio, TV and the theatre to critical acclaim.
