Him (Walken play)

[2] The play, Walken's first venture into playwriting,[3] adopts a surreal tone, and is replete with references to aspects of Presley's life, as well as to other pieces of theatre, including Hamlet and those of Tennessee Williams.

[1][4] Taking place in an "unspecified present",[4] Him depicts Presley (Walken), now deceased and in the afterlife (specifically, limbo, which is filled with Elvis look-a-likes),[5][6] growing discontented with the antics of his twin brother, Rob (Campbell),[3] who was stillborn many years previously.

[4] Rob is responsible for the numerous Elvis sightings taking place,[4] often showing up as a ghost on Earth to fool people into believing that Presley was still alive.

A truck driver (Heyman)[3] who recognises Presley, now a waitress at a "truckstop",[6] as the aged rock-star, narrates this segment while wrestling with feelings of sympathy and sexual desire.

The main poster for the play consisted of the idiosyncratic Presley hair-style set against a yellow background, with 'HIM' in large, pink lettering in the center.

[3] We got a series of pretentious and unfunny vaudeville sketches that dimly and distortingly alluded to Elvis's life and work, but without either analyzing or satirizing him, or making any kind of comprehensible point.
