I like the sounds of this. I found it on the DDDB website. But I saw something about it in the Village Voice or was it the New York Times?

Tale of 2Cities: An American Joyride on Multiple TracksTale 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.
"Once again, Ms. Woodbury has built a sweet and sweeping play with breathtaking range"
-The New York Times"Breathtakingly enthralling… bears comparison to the titanic undertakings of Anna Deavere Smith and Tony Kushner."
-The L.A. Times"A triumph of unfettered creativity" – Variety
