About the show

March 3, 1960. Elvis is returning to the US after completing his military service in Germany. His flight stops at Prestwick Airport for refuelling. Margaret Rutherford (the definitive Miss Marple) while waiting in the departure lounge for her London flight, meets Elvis fan, Albert, hoping to glimpse the King. 'Quietly moving two-hander imagines a meeting that changed a life' **** (TheWeeReview.com). 'Life affirming' **** (ThreeWeeks). Previous productions Noiseless & Patient, 'Beautiful and lyrical' (FringeGuru.com), and When Kurt Met Thora, ‘As an imagined piece of entertainment folklore, it’s priceless’ (TheStage.co.uk).
