Email tips@dailymail.com By Hannah Mcdonald Published: 07:02 EDT, 13 August 2024 | Updated: 07:09 EDT, 13 August 2024 e-mail 1 View comments A new play which sees Maya Jama , Idris Elba and Little Simz serve as producers has been hailed as 'beautiful, funny and moving' by opening night audiences. Shifters tells the story of Des and Dre, who come crashing back into each other's lives and are reminded of their love and time together as teenagers - but their time is limited.
It was revealed last week that the Love Island host, actor and rapper were all producers on the play for its transfer to the Duke Of York's Theatre after a sold out run at Bush Theatre. And the play - which stars Netflix 's Supacell and Doctor Who star Tosin Cole alongside actress Heather Agyepong - has received high praise after its first performance on Monday night. Audiences gushed over the heart-wrenching tale, written by Benedict Lombe and directed by Lynette Linton, applauding it for being moving and thought-provoking but also humorous.
