It's 2002, twenty years after the closure of the Paradise Club. So, what is former landlady Stella up to now, and what will the new Millennium bring?  As the brand-new Spinnaker Tower emerges on the skyline, and News 24 brings home stories of our Forces out in the Afghan dust, there are choices to be made.  From the pubs of Gosport to the care homes of Havant, Stella will embark on a remarkable journey, fighting the odds to wow a very different crowd, out on the turf at Fratton Park. Don't miss the latest up-close live experience from the Solent's most prolific professional theatre company, People and Stories.

From the director of A SUMMONS IN THE NIGHT and THE OYSTER HOUSE comes POMPEY ELVIS, a thrilling new comedy drama features a brilliant professional cast and live band. POMPEY ELVIS is part of the POMPEY TRILOGY, which also includes the 2022 hit, UNDERTOW:1982.
