Sunset Stories October 26, 2012

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Sunset Stories. May (Monique Gabriela Curnen, The Dark Knight), is a high-strung nurse based in Boston. She reluctantly returns to Los Angeles, her former home, to retrieve bone marrow for a transplant. Soon after her trip begins, her world turns upside down when past and present collide and she runs smack into rocker JP (Sung Kang from the Fast & Furious series), her former fiancé who she left five years earlier. Flustered, May loses the cooler containing the marrow. With only 24 hours remaining, the two embark on an After Hours-style journey up and down Sunset Boulevard, meeting a cast of eccentrics ranging from a transgender chanteuse at the Silverlake Lounge, a self-conscious young Mexican graphic artist, a struggling actor who takes any gig seriously (even if it’s dressed as a tube of toothpaste on the Hollywood Walk of Fame), and a bag lady who may just be Kevin Bacon's biggest fan.
