A Noh Drama about Elvis Presley

Written in a traditional Noh structure, Blue Moon Over Memphis is a meditation on loneliness. Judy, an Elvis Presley fan, makes a pilgrimage to Graceland on the anniversary of Elvis’s death. During the candlelight vigil, a mysterious man lets her into the Meditation Garden where Elvis is buried. Under the light of the blue moon, she meets the ghost of Elvis.
