Martha Josie And The Chinese Elvis

A feel-good comedy focusing on Josie Botting, a retiring dominatrix, who is having a birthday party but is in no mood to celebrate, her cleaner, obsessive-compulsive Martha, who can't pry herself away from her Mr. Sheen, the Chinese Elvis who looks the part but hasn't quite learned the words and Lionel, Josie's most satisfied customer, there to make sure everything goes off with a bang!

Writer Charlotte Jones is one of Britain’s hottest young talents. Her wonderful and compelling play is full of quirky characters, including the excruciating lip-quivering routines of songs by the Chinese Elvis.

Martha, Josie and the Chinese Elvis won the Pearson Television Best Play Award for 1998 and Manchester Evening News Best New Play for 1999. It also contributed to Charlotte Jones winning the Critics Circle Most Promising Playwright Award 1999.
