It's Now or Never

Written
by
Miles Tredennick

Directed
by
Kate Summers

by arrangement with
Warner Chappell

Elvis Presley fanatic, Tom Weals, and his fiancee, Alice, arrive in Spain from Colchester, in preparation for their long-awaited wedding.

Keith Clark, a fellow Elvis fanatic, has offered them the use of their villa outside Marbella while he is in London, but their arrival has been predated by a sighting by Keith of the real Elvis - alive and hiding out in a nearby villa.

Unbeknownst to Alice, who is not much of an Elvis fan, Keith talks Tom into helping him kidnap Elvis and sell the story to the British tabloid press.

Things go according to plan - until their victim appears to die in their custody. The ensuing confusion resulting from the attempts to hide their adventures (and the body) from Alice, while convinving The Sunday Insider of their conquest, leads to a chaos as a variety of Elvises appear and disappear and identities change by the moment in this fast-paced and frenetic farce.
