About

Lana is a single mother of 12-year-old Libby. She struggles with the cost of living and the rising price of Prosecco, whilst trying to survive on Universal Credit. She can’t even afford a night out. So every Thursday night she and her wee Christian friend, Mary Magdalene Miriam, doll themselves up and have a wee drink and listen to Lana’s mother’s music from the 1950s and 60s. She gets the shock of her life when one Thursday night Elvis appears - and returns every week. 

Is this rock ‘n’ roll apparition real, imagined or an impersonator sent by her Elvis-obsessed father? Music features strongly in this comedy with Lana singing some of the greatest female songs of the 50s and 60s including, Respect by Aretha Franklin, Love Letters, (Ketty Lester), I’d Rather Go Blind, (Etta James), Be My Baby, (The Ronettes), Then I Kissed Her (The Crystals) to name but a few. And, of course, Elvis sings all his greatest hits. When Elvis and Lana duet the house will be rocking like never before! Is Lana caught in a trap of poverty forever? Or does Elvis have an exciting idea that might just turn her life around?
