I love that you have located a photo of this program, of the play Paul speaks about in his solo tour of the "Inny" that was video-taped prior to his deciding to restore his old school. Marvelous! thank you!!!! (check out YouTube for his "tour," it is wonderful!!) SEE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvCQcyxDM6w&list=PLiwu5aP7YSO4XzXhy_pXt8ZiGw23wSOBs&index=40&t=465s

Please note that Brian Wilson as was part of the play as well :)

Obviously, not THAT Brian Wilson, but it stands out that Paul has shared the stage with a person with that name way before knowing and admiring The Beach Boys' leader.
It makes one wonder if Paul remembered that school mate when he first heard of the American band and of his singer/bass player
