Kiln theatre, London Tom Wright’s play explores how the Fab Four, and a rumoured affair with John Lennon, helped shape the manager’s tragically short life At the age of 30, the Beatles’s legendary manager, Brian Epstein, published his autobiography. At 32 he was dead, and his passing is widely considered the beginning of the end for the band. Tom Wright’s fascinating new play is less concerned with Epstein’s effect on a group of messy haired, leather-jacketed Liverpudlians than with their effect on him. In particular, it focuses on the relationship with John Lennon that would come to define the life of a Jewish gay man who, for all his success, always felt an outsider. We first meet Brian as a young man in his father’s record shop, replacing Bruch’s violin concerto with Elvis’s Hound Dog. His dad is happy to encourage his instincts in the baffling new world of 1960s pop – “Which Richard is the little one?” he’s forced to ask – but as the play’s breakneck opening makes clear, his son’s homosexuality is a source of shame and danger. Tom Piper’s mobile set of spinning closets (the shop also sells furniture) tumbles him down menacing corridors and alleyways; a shadowy Cavern Club reinforces the sense of a life concealed and buried.

Welcome to India Edition, Bloomberg’s daily dive into what’s moving the worlds of business, markets and politics in this dynamic, fast-paced economy. I’m Menaka Doshi . If you didn’t receive this directly in your inbox, you can subscribe here , and share feedback with us here . Today, I look at some promising news in the power distribution sector and my colleague Advait Palepu shines a light on the Adani-Ambani wealth race . Power Move In the midst of war and elections, the story that caught my attention this week is about India’s richest state, Maharashtra, readying its power distribution utility for an IPO. It may mark an inflection point for a sector that has long been weighed down by subsidies, distribution losses and crippling debt. Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. is working with SBI Capital Markets Ltd. and Deloitte on a share sale that could raise $500 million to $1 billion, Bloomberg News reported this week. Ahead of the offering, the utility is weighing a restructuring plan that would shift a portion of its debt to the state government and carve out its loss-making agriculture supply business — a segment heavily reliant on subsidies and politically sensitive tariffs. If successful, the listing would be the first of its kind for a state-owned power distribution company in India. “This could be a game-changer,” Managing Director Lokesh Chandra said. That may be optimistic, but the stakes are high. Over the past 25 years, successive federal rescue packages have cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars, with limited durable improvement. Distribution company debt stood at more than 7.5 trillion rupees ($90 billion) as of FY24, underscoring the scale of the problem. New Delhi has increasingly tied financial support to reforms, reportedly pressing lagging states , like Maharashtra, to consider privatization or market listings. There are signs of progress. Odisha’s experiment with privatized distribution has begun to reduce losses, while state-owne...
