Two worlds. One writer. Zero easy exits.
When New York novelist Stine is lured to Hollywood to adapt his detective stories for the silver screen, he trades the gritty East Coast for a land of perennial sunshine and palm trees. The Tony Award-winning City of Angels seamlessly weaves between two worlds: the vivid Technicolor reality of 1940s Hollywood and the gritty, black-and-white film noir of Stine’s imagination. This is a sensational jazz score including “You Can Always Count on Me” and “I’m Nothing Without You.”
