What is City of Angels about?
City of Angels follows the tumultuous change in fortune of a 1940s detective novel author who sells his book to a Hollywood studio for adaptation. Whilst the resulting film is shot in black and white, he finds that his life becomes all-too colourful as the excesses of Tinseltown beckon and finally engulfs him in booze, sin, and stardom.
Tickets for City of Angels are now on sale.
