All the King's Women

All the King's Women
the story of Elvis Presley told through the eyes of 17 Women! Some enthralled! Some appalled, aLL OBSeSSeD! a fast paced series of 5 comedic plays and 3 monologues based on the Life of Elvis Presley. From Tupelo Mississippi where 11 year old Elvis wanted a BB Gun instead of a guitar, to the Steve allen Show, from President Richard Nixon's office, to andy Warhol's studio, from Cadillac Salesmen, to Graceland guards, this is a touching, bring-the-family comedy with a heart that captures the effects that fame, generosity & just being a nice guy can bring to others!
