The Downtown Independent in Los Angeles is one of the top venues in the city for culture vultures, as it showcases a very broad range of events.

Indeed, on March 21st, it will be bringing the London production of Alan Bennett's latest play to US audiences thanks to the wonders of modern streaming technology.

Forming part of the National Theatre Live screenings, People is being staged at the UK's National Theatre - and it reunites the acclaimed British playwright with director Nicholas Hytner and Olivier Award-winning actress Frances de la Tour.

Bennett and Hytner previously collaborated on The Madness of King George and The Habit of Art - so People is bound to be a success.

Residents at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles will find that they are very easily able to get to the venue.

It is less than a mile away from the accommodation - and the distance is easily covered in around five minutes by driving or jumping in a cab.
