On paper this might have looked an odd proposition: a one man show about a TV performance from Elvis, in the form of detailed commentary rather than a performance per se - in fact a ‘tell’ rather than ‘show’.

But as a piece of theatre it (mainly) worked. Recreating the ‘in the round’ setup with an audience on all four sides, Greg Wohead requested audience co-operation on a number of levels: visual, auditory, physical and emotional.

Drawing the audience into his world right from the start, Wohead - a sort of theatrical mesmerist perhaps, gave detailed descriptions of what people were wearing and where they were sitting to set the scene of the king of rock 'n' roll's 1968 'Comeback Special'.

His skilful dissection and deconstruction of a small part of Elvis’s performance was essentially a skilful piece examining the artifice of stardom.

His focus on the tender removal of a piece of lint from Elvis’s cheek by one of his band members gave the audience Elvis the man rather than the myth, exposing the human being within the celebrity.

Audio and video clips of the original recording on screens behind the audience were a reminder of the King’s huge stage presence.

An interesting and insightful look into a true icon, generously done.
