Shifters (NHB Modern Plays)

Dre and Des. Dream and Destiny.

Young. Gifted. Black.

He stayed. She left.

Now, tragedy brings them crashing back into each other's lives – carrying new secrets and old scars that threaten to rewrite the past and reshape the future.

Benedict Lombe's play Shifters is a fierce, funny and intoxicating romance about the enduring power – and fragility – of memory and love. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Artistic Director Lynette Linton.
