New play Shifters tells the story of two young black people who meet again after years apart.

Luther actor Idris Elba told the BBC he knows what heartbreak feels like as he spoke at the opening of a new play he is promoting.

Speaking after the show at London's Duke of York theatre, Elba said the theme was important now because "it feels like no one celebrates love anymore". The 51-year-old actor is helping to promote the play alongside Love Island host Maya Jama and Mercury Prize and Brit-winning rapper Little Simz.Playwright Benedict Lombe has now became the third black British woman to have a production staged in the West End.

Cole, who recently appeared in Netflix's Supacell and plays Dre, says it's great that people from certain ethnic backgrounds are able to "connect with my character on a deeper level".
