Him is a 1995 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]
