Sandra Dickinson and Jonathan Chambers starred in the European premiere of “The Unbuilt City”
We were delighted to be associate producers on The Unbuilt City at the Kings Head Theatre, London, this Summer. We were smitten with this little gem of a script which gently unravels the secrets of the enigmatic Claudia and reveals the nature of love, legacy, and the untold history of New York City.
Sandra Dickinson (I Loved Lucy in the West End and TV goddess) and Jonathan Chambers (Doubt, Southwark Playhouse) starred in the European premiere of The Unbuilt City by Keith Bunin, directed by Glen Walford, at the King’s Head Theatre from Wednesday 6 - Saturday 30 June.

Peta Lily presents... Topless
Peta Lily presents a retrospective look at her show TOPLESS.
A survivor's tale, it brings comfort, inspiration ... and lots of laughs.
Peta explores with new audiences this one woman show, first performed 20 years ago. 20 years of living in the same body, 20 years of a woman growing in confidence, 20 years of a life still relevant.
An informal sharing with script in hand. Swearing and sexual content.
At The Canvas Café
42 Hanbury Street, London, E1 5JL
Show starts 7.30pm, bar open all day
Tickets: Pay What You Want on the door
Reviews of previous work, Chastity Belt:
"Incisive and inventive wit…guiding her audience away from unnecessary sentiment but not losing a sense of poignancy"
The Scotsman
"Peta Lily…one-woman whirlwind. Chastity Belt is as up-the-wall as it is on-point…personal, historical, mythical and rhythmically raunchy."
Localiize, Hong Kong
