The Bush Theatre's hit sell-out play 'Shifters' has its West End premiere tonight at the Duke of York Theatre.
Tosin Cole stars as the "superb" (The Telegraph) male lead, Dre, opposite Heather Agyepong as Des, who met and fell in love as teenagers, but parted ways when Des left to pursue her art career. Destiny brings them together again years later, aged 32, when Dre's beloved nana dies, as we see their tale of long-lost first love unfold.
The play received outstanding reviews from critics -
★★★★ "So good...laugh-out-loud funny and tears-to-the-eyes moving" - The Times
★★★★ "Smouldering and soulful...Tosin Cole and Heather Agyepong are entirely adorable and subtle as the couple" - Time Out
★★★★ "Forget One Day, this is pretty much the perfect bittersweet rom-com" - The Evening Standard
★★★★ "The acting is excellent, with Agyepong’s anger and Cole’s nonchalance, her provocative intelligence and his flirty charm, combining in moments when each can be vulnerable as well as evasive" - The Arts Desk
