Forming the final part of a New York, Los Angeles, London triptych, Mountview’s Actor Musician students bring you a mythological retelling of the history of London spanning from the landing of Brutus of Troy to the forming of the Peckham peace wall. Using verse, movement and music we navigate through the eons of time and we ask ourselves whether hope can blossom from the ruins we have made.
