OT: The Beatles in a 1960's live action TV show???

I have a DVD that features various clips of The Beatles in the USA and various interviews from the time... One of the clips is a TV show featuring The Beatles acting on stage. They are talking in Shakespearesque dialogue. In the show John is playing the part of a woman, Ringo is a lion, George is the moon and Paul is a man. In the show Pauls character dies from a stab wound.

Its in black and white and is filmed infront of a live audience with people heckling them... Can anyone ease tell me what this show is?

Thanks

EDITED TO ADD: Except the audio is pretty bad on this color version...
