In Misty Arinzé Kene takes us on an epic, lyrical journey through the pulsating heart and dark soul of inner city London. An inventive blend of gig theatre, spoken word, live art and direct address, Misty which is now in preview at the Bush Theatre confronts the assumptions and expectations underpinning the act of telling a story.

Misty is directed by Bush Theatre Associate Director Omar Elerian (NASSIM, Islands) and features an original musical score performed live during the show.
