Waiting For Elvis

March 3, 1960. Elvis is returning to the US after completing his military service in Germany. His flight stops at Prestwick Airport for refuelling. Albert Briggs, a National Service recruit with Elvis Presley on the brain, is desperate to catch a glimpse of his idol, until he crosses paths with Margaret Rutherford, a no-nonsense actress with stories of Hollywood glamour and hard-won wisdom. Over one unforgettable night, their sparring and confessions unravel the myths of fame, the weight of expectation, and the courage it takes to rewrite your own story. Written by Clara Nel Haddon and Ray Globe, Waiting For Elvis recounts how a chance encounter between the starstruck young soldier and the formidable actress becomes a life-changing conversation.
