Tale of 2Cities is a collision of life-stories from New York and Los Angeles spun into an epic mix by a young Echo Park DJ mourning his grandmother's death. Flashing back to 1957 when the Brooklyn Dodgers abandoned one neighborhood while in LA another was lost to make way for the transplanted team's new stadium, Tale creates a live séance among generations of interwoven characters on both coasts. From the rise of Senator McCarthy to the fall of the twin towers," Tale swoops through cities and drops into the minds of a mini-series worth of major and minor characters."


“Entrancing and exhilarating…molding gut-wrenching truths and hilarious caricatures
into a portrait of the family of man—past and present.”
— Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times
