Review - The Perfect City

By ​Clive Burton | regular contributor to the Theatreworld Internet Magazine

​"Previously premiered at the Quaker Meeting House in St Martin’s Lane, in the heart of London’s theatreland after a tour in similar South of England venues, Perfect City was presented in a costumed performance in the round. ​
Astutely directed by Andrew Miller, the show proved an entertaining mixture of music-theatre styles, its melodic songs carrying the story to a moving conclusion as Penn’s vision unfurled of a democratic new city in the New World where slavery would have no place and each individual could be master of his or her own fate.

Any thoughts that such a subject might be too specialised for a wider audience were soon swept away by the young cast and the uniformly excellent material that had been honed by the team over several years.

​There can be little doubt that The Perfect City will go on to entertain a wider audience as the team now begins the task of raising funds to mount it elsewhere in Britain.”
