Description

Los Angeles: 1947.  In the years following World War II, the City of Angels is a land of opportunity—for industry, for entertainment, and for organized crime.  In this American “dreamland,” Ricky “Gloucester” Cohen, of Chicago’s York Crime Family, begins his ruthless rise from lowly enforcer to the King of the streets of L.A.  This production re-imagines Shakespeare’s classic tale of corruption, violence, and vice within Hollywood’s Golden Age, where anything is possible, and a bloody showdown with the LAPD is inevitable.
