Tag Archives: Mark David Chapman

Donald Capone's extraordinary book describes what it was like in New York City in the days before John Lennon was shot.

The play imagines in detail Chapman's relationship with his wife and their religious milieu; his journey to New York, fraught with fury, confusion, and self-doubt; and finally the infamous murder itself.

Chapman should be forced to sit in a room for the rest of his life with huge pictures of John Lennon on all the walls, listening to the song “Imagine” played over and over again.
