An Irish-American Professor
Meets a Student by the Name of Lennon
Joanna Pickering, an experienced actress from Newcastle,
England, leads a cast of newcomers in the La Muse Venale film production
of Mersey Boys, a feature-length film about the Beatles.
Director Mike Strozier has setup an intensive film shooting schedule
over the next few weeks that shall have the cast and crew taking the
subway from a pub in Manhattan to a railroad yard in Brooklyn.
Ms. Pickering is in the female lead of Ginny Browne, a desirable co-ed
at the Liverpool Art College, who sparks a relationship, as well as
a rivalry, between Professor Al Moran and John Lennon. Anna Shields,
a beautiful young woman from Boston, Massachusetts, is starring as Lizzy
Gibson, a groupie of the Beatles and a rival with Ginny for the affections
of the American professor. Ms. Pickering and Ms. Shields are welcomed
addition to the cast of the fledging acting troupe because of their
acting abilities and their extensive credentials. The two ladies
both plan to be in the stage version of Mersey Boys. The Mersey Boys novel is by Steven G. Farrell.
The screenplay is by M. Stefan Strozier and Steven G. Farrell.
The stage version will be primarily the work of Mr. Strozier, who is
an experienced playwright. Mike Strozier and Angelko Mar, La Muse Venale’s
top technical person, can be seen all over Manhattan, Brooklyn and the
Queens scouting for locales for the film. The Staten Island Ferryboat
will be pulling duty as the Ferryboat on the Mersey River.
Mersey Boys revolves around Al Moran, an
Irish-American, and the role he plays in the development of the Beatles
from their coffee house debut to their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Al and John connect on many levels
because of their shared Irish heritage. Professor Moran shall be played
by M. Stefan Strozier and Lennon shall be played by Jordan Brown.
The others Beatles shall be Jeremiah Stanfield (Paul), Brady Cudmore
(George) and Trevor Crane. Co-stars are Ronnie Armani as Brian, Tatyana
Kalko as Cynthia and Ryan Farrell as Gerry Marsden. According to Farrell
Joanna Pickering is the star. “Ginny Browne is the best character
I have ever created in my long writing career. Joanna Pickering is the
ideal person to bring Ginny Browne to life on the big screen. Joanna
Pickering rocks!”
Mr. Farrell would like to advise the reading public
that Mersey Boys is not the same novel as Liverpool Roared.
