Google Don Minzone ProductionsAbout the show
Ghosts of West Hollywood is a solo performance exploring the pursuit of an acting career in Hollywood and the personal cost of reinvention. Drawing on experiences of drama school expulsion, immigration, coming out, addiction and recovery, the show blends confessional storytelling with dark humour and theatrical flair. Set against the neon-lit mythology of LA, the piece examines ambition, identity and survival — asking what we leave behind when chasing a dream, and what continues to haunt us when we finally stop running. The performer's work spans theatre and screen, including a cameo as Banksy in Ted Lasso.
Why see this show?
A candid, darkly funny solo show that traces the wreckage and wonder of chasing a Hollywood dream — expulsion, immigration, addiction and coming out woven into a theatrical confessional that earns its laughs honestly.
