Misty

This cutting edge One-Man Show explores race and culture as it leads us on an epic, lyrical journey through the pulsating heart and underground soul of inner-city London

An inventive blend of gig theatre, spoken word, live art and direct address, it confronts the assumptions and expectations underpinning the act of telling a story

Misty premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, 2018
