Steven G. Farrell

Steven G. Farrell (born 1954 in Kenosha, Wisconsin) is the author of Mersey Boys, a novel, play and screenplay. The three books were published in 2013 by Celtic-Badger Publishers. Mersey Boys is about an American art professor, Al Moran, moving to Liverpool, England in 1959, where he encounters a rebellious student by the name of John Lennon. Moran and Lennon clash in the classroom and over Ginny Browne, a beautiful but independent woman. Gradually Lennon, Moran and Browne merge into a friendship that leads to the forming of the Beatles. The filming of Mersey Boys was announced by La Muse Venale Theatre in 2013 and was to be filmed exclusively in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island by director M. Stefan Strozier. Strozier struggled to complete the work and 58 minutes of the "Unfinished Mersey Boys Film" was put up on YouTube in March 2016 in three parts.

Greenville Technical College did a stage reading on Mersey Boy in March 2016, starring Dan Robbins as Moran, Nick Heredia as Lennon and Erin Kathleen Shealy as Browne. Paddy Murphy and Celtic Badger of Limerick, Ireland agreed to be the filmmakers for Mersey Boys.

In June 2017 Paddy Murphy, director of the film "The Three Don'ts," gave an interview to Crypt Magazine in which he announced his intention of working in collaboration with Farrell on the "Mersey Boys" project by the end of the year.
