MEDIA COOL

London, England) Someone should produce this over here or at least make a film of it, as this London (by way of Liverpool) stage production was the most powerful artistic statement on the life of Elvis Presley I�ve seen thus far. Set on the night of Elvis�s death, it intersperses flashbacks from his glory days and distant past with his horrifying present, following a basic rock �n� roll party line (watching �Elvis�—Martin Shaw is extraordinary in the role— mutter �You goddamn bastard� behind the Colonel�s back was alone worth price of admission).
