''The Return of Elvis Du Pisanie'' is a play by South Africa's Paul Slabolepszy. ==Plot== This is a one-man play where the actor plays a raft of characters. Eddie grows up in Modderfontein and is an Elvis Presley fanatic. He gets married, has kids and finds a job selling underfloor heating. He jokes: ''In an age of global warming?''. He also feels depressed. The play begins with Elvis standing on a street corner (Union Crescent) in Witbank where he is reminiscing about his youth. Across the road is the cinema where he used to enjoy Dick Tracey. Many years ago he carved the initials of his first love on the lamp post he is leaning on. He decides that his life is worthless and decides to commit suicide by gassing himself in his car. While he is waiting for the carbon monoxide to make him unconscious, he turns on the radio only to hear Elvis singing. This cheers him up so he decides to return to the cinema in Union Crescent where apparently Elvis was recently sighted. While standing underneath the lamp post, waiting for Elvis to arrive, he reflects on his past and some of the funny incidents that shaped it. He also recalls an incident which terrified him and still haunts him. As he reflects on that incident, he realises that Elvis saved his life then. This inspires him and gives him hope for the future. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Return of Elvis Du Pisanie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
