About this Event

Peter Daubeny brought the world to London. He invited unprecedented numbers of overseas companies to perform here, laying the foundations of world theatre as we know it.

Join me to celebrate the theatre manager who revolutionised British performance with his World Theatre Seasons and so much more.

Meet me outside the Church of SS Anselm and Cecilia on Kingsway - just to the south of the main exit from Holborn Underground Station (Central and Piccadilly Lines).

The tour will take approximately two hours. It finishes on Denman Street, near Piccadilly Circus Underground Station (Piccadilly and Bakerloo ines).
