The Elvis Administration

by Stephanie Kyung Sun Walters

A whimsical look at love and where we belong through the eyes of Crab Girl, Turtle Man, Elvis, and Kim Jong-Il. This teenage girl's tumbler page meets Korean drama is a playful way of examining new landscapes of the heart. A "Love Actually" for the brokenhearted.

    An examination of what love is, brilliantly scrutinized through the stories of the various characters.
    I loved the musicality of the dialogue, along with the imagery woven throughout.

    A fantastic look at love through a unique lens that shows us where it can take us with humor. Well done.

    "Show me all the parts of you that you do not love so I know where to begin."

    At once hilarious and earth-shattering, THE ELVIS ADMINISTRATION has a charm that is utterly unique. The musicality and poetry called to mind Charles Mee, but Walters has a voice all her own. She somehow manages to perfectly pair the poignant with the hysterical. With repetition riddled throughout, this play explores the universal vulnerability inherent in loving another creature.
