In a small town in 1950’s USA, a guitar-playing, hip-swivelling stranger rides his motorbike into town.
Is he The Devil In Disguise or a Hound Dog in his Blue Suede Shoes? The townsfolk are about to be All Shook Up and could be headed for Heartbreak Hotel, but for Natalie, the love-struck, tomboy mechanic, it really is Now or Never.
Love Me Tender by Joe DiPietro, the writer of the award-winning West End and Broadway hit Memphis, is described as a funny and moving tale of hope, second chances and the healing qualities of Rock ’n’ Roll.
Directed by Karen Bruce (Dance ‘Til Dawn, Saturday Night Fever), Love Me Tender has set design by Morgan Large, lighting by James Whiteside, and costume design by Vicky Gill. Casting has still to be announced.
Retitled for its UK premiere, Love Me Tender premiered on Broadway as All Shook Up.
