It's 1977, and as a 20th anniversary treat, Dwight Carter decides to take his wife to all 12 dates of an Elvis tour - his music brought them together, so what better present could there be?
The only problems are his wife no longer loves Elvis, today is August 16th, and the King is about to leave the building for the last time.
'Are You Lonesome Tonight' is a one-act play about how the music we love shapes the lives we lead. A must read for anyone who who has ever had a musical idol, whether or not it was Elvis. The play was performed at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and other fringe venues in 2010 and 2011.

'A very well written piece; the dialogue is filled with wit and pathos' Fringe Report.
