BWW Review: MISTY, Trafalgar Studios

Are you a virus or a blood cell? What does that even mean? In his opening moments, Arinze Kene tells us the difference: blood cells are the good members of society - the viruses are not. A virus would sneak on at the back of the bus, causing a nuisance to the rest of the passengers. Viruses are those that have gentrified the city, and forced the locals to move out, replacing culture with commodity.

No matter where we are, our surroundings are a living consequence of the decisions we make. The organs that form the makeup of society are pumped by our actions, and this spirt flows through the city, being present wherever we go. However, if you look closely enough, you'll realise that not everyone is a positive effect to our environment. Some people are viruses, causing damage. It's not always intentional, but it's almost definitely destructive.

by Tyler Peterson
- Aug 15, 2014
In 2012, Phyllida Lloyd's all-female production of Julius Caesar at the Donmar Warehouse placed the play in a women's prison. It stunned audiences on both sides of the Atlantic and challenged the idea of 'who owns Shakespeare?' In one of the schools workshops around the production, teachers heard one of their students, a girl, speak in public for the first time. It couldn't end there.
