Waiting For Elvis
by Clara Nel Haddon and Ray Globe
March 3, 1960. Elvis is returning to the US after completing his military service in Germany. His flight stops at Prestwick Airport for refuelling. Margaret Rutherford (the definitive Miss Marple) while waiting in the departure lounge for her London flight, meets Elvis fan, Albert, hoping to glimpse the King. 'Quietly moving two-hander imagines a meeting that changed a life' **** TheWeeReview, 'Life affirming' **** ThreeWeeks
Unearthed
by Clara Nel Haddon
In 1968, Nottinghamshire housewife Emma Smith traded her kitchen for a coffin. Buried beneath the Skegness seafront in a record breaking attempt, Emma invites us into a subterranean world of Radio Caroline, cream crackers and DH Lawrence. As she battles claustrophobia and public scrutiny, she unearths her past as a Belgian refugee and former nun. Unearthed explores the "everyday housewife's" desperate search for identity. A haunting, gritty portrait of a woman finding freedom in the dark.
