The play is having its West End debut at Duke of York's Theatre following a successful run at The Bush Theatre earlier this year.

Starring Cole and School Girls actress Heather Agyepong, Shifters is an "intoxicating show about the complexities of relationships" penned by the award-winning Benedict Lombe and directed by Lynette Linton.

It follows the lives of exes Dre and Des and their reunion after eight years away from each other.

After the off-West End run, the show received strong reviews across the board, being described as "captivating," "laugh-out-loud funny," "tremendous" and more.

What is the play Shifters about?

Shifters is the story of Dre and Des (Heather Agyepong and Tosin Cole), two old flames whose paths collide eight years after the end of their relationship.

Now 32, the two have led very different lives, with Des achieving her artistic dreams in America while Dre stayed closer to home. But as the time comes for Des to leave again, the two can't help but reconnect and remember the old times, and they're forced wonder if they've been brought back together for a reason.
