Shifters is a bittersweet new rom-com by the award-winning playwright Benedict Lombe.

Des and Dre are back together after years of being apart. But their time together is limited as Des is about to move on again, and things have changed since they were last in a teenage relationship.

Memories of the past collide with the present, leading them to wonder whether destiny has reunited them for a reason.

The captivating new play delves into past lives and the power of memories, mixing hilarious comedy with an exhilarating romance. It's a universal story, full of heart.
