London with a Perfect Skyline

‘★★★★ Exploding Whale presents a tangled web of bitter family secrets slowly unfolding under Joanna Pidcock’s pleasing direction.’ - London Pub Theatres

‘Exploding Whale’s energetic cast create a strong sense of tension in the intimate space, and there are some strong individual performances…Joanna Pidcock’s naturalistic direction and Bebe Barry’s minimalist production make good use of the small space, drawing the audience into the family drama.’ - British Theatre Guide  

★★★★ - London Theatre Reviews

Exploring questions of family, identity and progress, London With A Perfect Skyline is a dark comedy/drama about a pair of siblings, Lana and Wren, who decide to visit their estranged, high-flying city sister, Primrose, whom they haven’t seen for over eight years. The pair have been invited (behind Primrose’s back) by Primrose’s fiancé Linux, an app developer, to celebrate their engagement. Far from their life on the family's rural dairy farm, Lana and Wren arrive in London on a newly proclaimed day, when all architectural and building work is called to a halt, so for perhaps the first time ever, there is an uninterrupted view of the London skyline.

London with a Perfect Skyline was directed in traverse at Katzpace, produced by Bebe Barry as part of Exploding Whale, and written by Cassiah Joski Jethi.
