About this ebook
An epic, lyrical journey through the pulsating heart and underground soul of inner-city London.
Arinzé Kene's Misty is an inventive blend of gig theatre, spoken word, live art and direct address, confronting the assumptions and expectations underpinning the act of telling a story.
Misty premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2018, performed by the author and directed by Omar Elerian.
