About The Play

About The Play

A young woman chases her dreams to sun-soaked LA to become a movie star, but soon the shadows of this city rear up to claim her. Etta aspires to succeed but is sucked down into the porn industry, a world which seduces and abuses, and can illuminate your name in dirty neon. A dark comic thriller about sex and survival.

Following his directorial debut earlier this year with Amy Evans’ Achidi J’s Final Hours at the Finborough Theatre, internationally acclaimed playwright Ché Walker (Flesh Wound and Been So Long (Royal Court), and George Devine Award winner) directs the modern American classic Etta Jenks, with This Life star Daniela Nardini in the title role.
