“The Architect’ is a powerful example of how storytelling can create empathy, understanding and hope in communities, and we are so proud that Stephen’s legacy is being supported by GDIF, Matthew Xia and the Actors Touring Company as they bring this important production to life.”

The Architects Dream (A free standalone event)
Let us do it. Let us just do it. For them. For us. For London.

Meet The Architect – a 48-year-old Londoner of Caribbean heritage, who has fulfilled his life-long dream of becoming a builder of cities, a maker of dreams.

He steps off a double decker bus to share that dream with you, his vision for a city of the future – a new way of existing. A blueprint that embraces everyone.

Backed by Steel-Pan music, this powerful performance, provides a stand-alone culmination to The Architect right in the heart of Woolwich.
