DO YOU BELIEVE IN DESTINY?
Shifters is a relatable and beautifully intoxicating reminder of the enduring power of our memories, young love, and the complexities of relationships. This love story comes with a universal message that is full of heart and is “easy itself to fall in love with” (The Times).
Des and Dre. Gifted. Young. Black. She left. He stayed. After many years, Des and Dre come crashing back into each other’s lives, both carrying old scars and new secrets. As the clock counts down until Des must leave again, the memories of their teen years begin to collide with their present, and they start to question if destiny has brought them together again for a reason.
Written by Benedict Lombe, directed by Evening Standard Theatre Award-winner Lynette Linton, and starring the “irresistible” (London Theatre) Heather Agyepong and the “tremendous” (The Observer) Tosin Cole.
Shifters will showcase at the Duke of York’s Theatre for a strictly limited 9-week run from August 12th – October 12th and has a running time of 100 minutes with no interval.
