| Description: |
Taking you on a tour of the sun-soaked boulevards of 1940s Los Angeles, this book serves to open up a neglected chapter of American cultural history, as the European emigres find themselves amidst the materialistic razzle-dazzle of Hollywood. |
| Synopsis: |
With the Austro-Hungarian dramatist Odon Von Horvath as our guide, Christopher Hampton's witty and erudite play takes us on a tour of the sun-soaked boulevards of 1940s Los Angeles. Taking in such improbable residents as Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Bertolt Brecht and the Marx Brothers amongst others, it brilliantly serves to open up a neglected chapter of American cultural history, as the wry and embittered European emigres find themselves amidst the materialistic razzle-dazzle of Hollywood. Tales from Hollywood premiered at the Mark Taper Forum Theatre, Los Angeles, 1982 and at the National Theatre, London, in 1983. |
