Sunny Triggs is an Australian soap actress, newly arrived in LA and already anxious and lonely. She’s fleeing heartbreak, throwing herself headlong into the search for that elusive ‘big break’. Along the way, she encounters a cast of colourful characters, new friends and old – from her bulimic manoholic best friend Nina, who may have been in LA too long, to the handsome potential co-star she remembers from his long-past TV heyday.

I Say Tomato is great fun. It’s rich with comic observations and insider gossip about auditions, accents, opening nights, film festivals (Sundance) and the heady narcissism of a place where ‘the best-looking male and female from every high school and drama school on the planet have been plucked from their hometowns and dropped here’, all competing for their shot at stardom – and complicating the local dating pool. A bittersweet rom-com with bite, written by an Australian ex-soap actress (All Saints, Love My Way).
