Details

Cooking with Elvis is about food, fate and sex - what more could you ask - other than Elvis. When an amateur Elvis impersonator is paralysed in a car crash, his wife and his daughter are forced to cope with the aftermath. One tries to replace him with cooking; the other with sex. Unfortunately, they both try out their talents on the same man! Part knockabout farce, part cookery course, part philosophical investigation, Cooking with Elvis celebrates the three great pleasures in life: sex, food and t he King! Warning - This production contains strong adult content. <a href="http://www.cookingwithelvis.co.uk">Web site>

Reviews

User Review: 11Jan01: All the performers are excellent, not least [Joe Caffrey], who regularly if surreally leaps up to deliver Elvis songs and descriptions of burger-and-cola binges. And all praise to the visiting TV comic ([Frank Skinner]) for downstaging rather than upstaging the others. Was there ever a figure as unaffectedly, understatedly gormless as this spindly, scrawny blend of Stan Laurel and Rumpelstiltskin, with the nose like a knee or elbow.
