When an author turned screenwriter and an investigator come together in Hollywood, two contrasting worlds collide. The author is attempting to adapt his successful novel into a screenplay; however, it doesn’t take long for him to realise that people in Hollywood just don’t stick to the script. The investigator, on the other hand, has a woman to locate, a case to solve and true love to gain. What will happen when reality gets mixed up with a script and how will they keep them separate? ## West End *City of Angels* tickets are booking now!
