Recently graduated from drama school, Lizzie Jordan is looking forward to a glittering career at the RSC. She’s also looking forward to the next step in her relationship: becoming Mrs Richard Adams (Lizzie just knows that her artist boyfriend is about to propose any day now).

So how does Lizzie, just one month later, find herself sharing a cockroach-infested house in Venice Beach, California, working as a waitress in a transvestite bar, and pretending to be the fiancee of one of the biggest directors in Hollywood? Why does life never seem to work out the way Lizzie Jordan planned?

In the best tradition of Kathy Lette, this is girl power at its most painfully funny
