A Bizarre True Crime Story

Making its world premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, this brand-new Southern-fried dark comedy is inspired by one of the strangest crime stories in American history. Expect heist thrills, outrageous characters and a distinctly twisted slice of Americana with The King's Ransom - directed by Olivier-nominated Matthew Dunster!

What's The Story?

Memphis, 1977. When a mysterious criminal mastermind presents small-time thief Vince Black with an irresistible opportunity, he gathers a motley crew of outsiders, misfits and unlikely accomplices for an impossible mission - the ultimate heist: stealing the remains of the King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley. Well...that's one way to achieve the American Dream!
