Take your first look inside the #YVTree rehearsal room before its world premiere in just over 2 weeks.
@idriselba and @kwamekweiarmah's electrifying immersive new blend of drama, music and dance follows one man’s journey into the heart and soul of contemporary South Africa.
With music inspired by Elba’s album 'Mi Mandela', Tree is an exhilarating show about identity, family and belonging, seen through the eyes of one man on the toughest journey of his life.
With Christian Bradley, @lucybriggsowen, Sinéad Cusack, Kurt Egyiawan, Alfred Enoch, Anna-Kay Alicia Gayle, Joan Iyiola, @AnthonyMatsena, Daniella May, Patrice Naiambana, @mbulelo_ndabeni, Stefan Sinclair and @andilesotiya.
