There, in the background, wearing drop pearl earrings, is 13-year-old Lily Allen dressed up as a little lady-in-waiting. Keith Allen, her father, has built a career on charismatic, unsettling screen appearances, from Comic Strip films to serial killer dramas. Lily Allen will be joined on stage by EastEnders star Jake Wood, City Of Angels actor Hadley Fraser and Julia Chan of Silent House. Far from retired, Allen, now a mother-of-two, is to make her West End debut at the Noël Coward theatre on Tuesday. “Lily Allen has brought joy to so many households across Britain through her music, as well as showing unwavering commitment to campaigning on the most righteous causes,” Lammy said this weekend.
