All shook up

The Escapees Theatre Company are all shook up with excitement to present

ALL SHOOK UP - performing at The Drum Theatre, Dandenong, October 2024

​

The music of Elvis comes alive in All Shook Up. Inspired by Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, All Shook Up follows a small Midwestern town that is thrown into a frenzy with the arrival of Chad, a good-looking, motorcycle-riding roustabout, who rides from town to town with a guitar on his back, blue suede shoes on his feet, and a song in his heart. Repressed by their conservative mayor, the town begins to come alive once more under Chad’s influence. All Shook Up is a rocking, heartwarming tale about following dreams, opening up to love, and the power of music.​​​​​
