Christopher Walken play

Him is a play written by actor Christopher Walken, who also took the lead role,^[1] and which debuted in the New York Shakespeare Festival.

It revolved around the afterlife of Elvis Presley, the singer who, as Walken himself turned 15, became his first idol.^[2] The play, Walken's first venture into playwriting,^[3] adopts a surreal tone, and is replete with references to aspects of Presley's life, as well as to other pieces of theatre, including Hamlet and those of Tennessee Williams.^[4] While it enjoyed some positive comments, it was largely panned by the critics.^[1][4]
