Arinzé Kene's Misty tickets now available for the Trafalgar Studios transfer!

In a playful, profound and unique take on modern life in London, Arinzé (Girl from the North Country, Lion King, EastEnders) delivers a powerhouse performance blending theatre and song, on a constantly shifting stage, with live musicians performing during the show.

Absolutely riveting! Highly recommended.

I have been going to a lot of theatre (when I can afford it) for over 40 years and can say that it ranks as one of the best theatrical experiences I have ever see. Part Luther (Idris) Part Berkoff (Steven) Part Tricky (er Tricky) it was thought provoking powerful with an inevitable path to the protagonist's destruction. Excellent musicians/support actors too. Please re run this show. I saw on the penultimate night and wanted friends to see it but it was too late. many thanks for an amazing evening. Reading the screenplay as I type. Mike.

Douglas Bond

Great show, brilliantly performed by Arinze and Co. Good subject matter and Arinze's craft, effort and dedication to the show are a show in themselves, he was outstanding. Nice intimate theatre. The only negative thing about the show/theatre was that there were no announcements of when the interval was due to end, the lights literally went off and it starts again, unfortunately this resulted in one of my party being stuck outside and not let back in for 20 mins. The staff were very rude and unhelpful about this and it was all very unnecessary.

Absolutely phenomenal show left such an impact on me plus being a black female it was empowering to see a female of colour on stage also which is needed more in the theatre industry

Amélie

One of the best plays I have seen, so truthful, brave and humbling.

Prepare to be Woke: Arinzé Kene's Misty

I was buoyed up by Arinzé Kene's innovative, intelligent and energetic play performed in verse, which is thoroughly entertaining. Misty refuses to be categorised; is it slam poetry? Is it rap? Is it a musical? Is it a play? Well that doesn't matter because Arinzé's creativity defies labels. He mischievously uses different techniques to affectionately mock: himself, his critics, and society's stereotyping of black working class lives. Arinzé has so much fun with the show, on many different levels, that it inspired me to write a playful review of Misty in verse.
