The Flea describes the play as follows: Sex. Drugs. Swimming Pools. Traffic. Smog. Carjackings. The search for next big thing. This is Los Angeles, where one damaged young woman needs more than a map to find her way through the pitfalls of Tinseltown. Los Angeles stars Katherine Waterston daughter of actor Sam Waterston and Jonathan Walker with The Bats, the resident acting company at The Flea. The production features set by David Korins, lighting by Miranda Hardy, sound by Eric Shim and costumes by Erika Munro.
