Synopsis

When an amateur Elvis impersonator is paralysed in a car crash, his wife and daughter are forced to cope with the aftermath.

Jill tries to replace him with cooking, Mam tries to replace him with sex.

Unfortunately, they both try out their talents on the same man.

Part knockabout farce, part cookery course, part philosophical investigation, Cooking With Elvis is a provocative and outrageously funny look at disability while enjoying the three greatest pleasures in the world - sex, food and the King.

Inspired by Ernst Toller's neglected masterpiece Hinkemann, Bollocks is an examination of the impotence of lives ruined by war.

Looking at an emasculated society where small lives are dominated by big business ideology, this intense yet darkly humorous work is about the emotional scars that follow physical pain.
