Los Angeles is burning. And he's enjoying the view. Take a seat next to that child star. You know the one. Used-up, spat-out, stuck on the fast-track to selfdestruction. But now he's tearing the whole world down with him. Declan Greene, one of this generation's most electric playwrights, creates a schizoid eulogy for the American empire, where personal psychology is blurred with the world of the silver screen. Los Angeles is erupting, a damaged young mind scrambles for an escape route and Judy Garland is guiding the way. Director Matthew Lutton transforms this febrile feat of imagination into a series of spectacular acts that refuse all categorisation, creating a hilarious plummet into the anxieties and hysteria of a culture that is turning itself inside out.
