Arinzé Kene’s solo masterpiece Misty has transferred to the West End for a limited run, following a sold-out engagement at the Bush Theatre.
Misty is a blend of theatre, gig and performance poetry which explores creative freedom in modern London. Telling us of a pulsating vision of the city around us, Arinzé delivers a heartfelt, playful and epic performance.
With an original musical score performed live during the show, Misty reimagines the city that we live in.
