Shifters

Closed

Don’t miss the play everyone is talking about! SHIFTERS is playing at the Duke of York’s Theatre, following an incredible, sold-out run at Bush Theatre.

SHIFTERS has taken the West End by storm, with The Independent hailing it as “an epic new romcom that has West End audiences swooning,” and the Daily Mail declaring, “Shifters is a hit.”

Written by award-winning Benedict Lombe and directed by the award-winning Lynette Linton, SHIFTERS is a beautifully intoxicating tale of love, memory, and second chances.

Heather Agyepong and Tosin Cole deliver performances that are nothing short of “irresistible” (London Theatre) and “tremendous” (The Observer).

SHIFTERS is backed by powerhouse producers Idris Elba, Maya Jama, and Little Simz, adding to the excitement and making it one of the most talked-about shows of the year.

Now playing at the Duke of York’s Theatre for a strictly limited run until 12 October, SHIFTERS is “easy itself to fall in love with” (The Times).

What is Shifters about?

Dre and Des. Young. Gifted. Black. He stayed. She left.

Years later, Des and Dre come crashing back into each other’s lives, carrying new secrets and old scars. With the clock counting down until Des has to leave again, memories of their teen years collide with their present and they’re forced to question if destiny has brought them back together for a reason.
