HighRise eState of Mind, by hip hop theatre company Beats & Elements, tells difficult to swallow truths through a dystopian lens, using grime, beat boxing, hip hop, live looping and MCing. This fast paced, urban story directed by Conrad Murray - about class and housing, frustrations, inequalities and the pointlessness of it all - features Luke (played by Conrad Murray), Tony (played by Paul Cree), Dr David (played by David Bonnick Jr) and Michelle (played by Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens).
