For a highlight of this show, a special John-Lennon “department” is to be opened separately in the presence of its half-sister Julia Baird (78). UK artist James Wilkinson worked as a curator and also provided works from his “Lennon-Wired” cycle. There are also artifacts, drawings, writings and photographs.
The focus is on the replica of Lennon’s children’s room, which Baird described as “rather moving”. “Beatles fans were either in Mendips or at least saw a picture of it in which he lived in the ‘lodge room’,” said Baird against the NME “You couldn’t pack much. There were only a few inches to move to move. It is very lifelike: the bed, the red quilt, all.
Mendips ”-the semi-detached house
Kenner refer to the semi-detached half of the Menlove Avenue 251 in Liverpool as “Mendips”, in which Lennon grew up on his aunt Mary “Mimi” Smith.
Baird had already written the book “Imagine This” in 2006. Unterzeile: “Growing up with my Brother”. Since then there have been quarrels about the sovereignty of interpretation over Lennon’s life. “At the time, it became clear to me that John’s childhood was not the way it was shown. Now people know the truth about it. My mother was not the happy person who had children and literally sold them on Ebay. So I thought I had to do something about it.”
Hard criticism of Sam Mendes
Hard words fired Baird against director Samuel “Sam” Mendes and his upcoming Beatles-Biopics, whose theatrical release is planned for April 2028. Compared to various UK media, including the daily newspaper “Daily Mail”, she repeated her accusation that Star filmmaker (UA James Bond) would only work superficially: “Sam Mendes didn’t even come to Liverpool. In any case, I don’t know whether he has ever been there, so high in the north ..”
A main concern is the former teacher an authentic local color, especially the special dialect and tone of the Merseyside is important. “We have drama schools and young boys who could play John like this. Will he meet them? No. We all know that nobody can play a scouser accent without sounding stupid. They roll their” RS “in a ridiculous emphasis as if they were in Mexico or something. That will not do!”
