"Meet the Quartos: Ben, Claude, Balth, and Pedro," state press notes. "Can these fab four from Liverpool find true love in London and cut an album in seven nights? A modish rip-off of Much Ado About Nothing with a serious backbeat." These Paper Bullets! was commissioned by Yale Repertory Theatre, where it premiered in 2014. The West Coast premiere of the show officially opened Sept. 16 at the Geffen Playhouse, which co-produced with the Atlantic Theater.
