Summary
When an amateur Elvis impersonator is paralysed in a car crash, his wife and daughter are forced to cope with the aftermath. Jill tries to replace him with cooking. Mam tries to replace him with sex. Unfortunately, they both try out their talen's with the'same man. Part knockabout farce, part cookery course, part philosophical investigation, this play is a provocative and outrageously funny look at disability while enjoying the three greatest pleasures in the world — sex, food and the King.
