Performance Description: All the King's Women Directed by Ellen Dempsey, Written by Luigi Jannuzzi The King is alive and well in Alexandria! The story of Elvis Presley told through the eyes of 17 enthralled, appalled, and obsessed women. Luigi Jannuzzi’s award-winning comedy takes us from Tupelo, Mississippi where a 12-year-old Elvis wanted a BB gun instead of a guitar; to President Richard Nixon’s office and Andy Warhol’s studio; from Cadillac salesmen to Graceland guards. This touching, comedy for every generation captures the effects that fame, generosity and just being a nice guy can bring to others.
