Synopsis

In March 2020, our world turned upside down. Or rather, it shut down. When we couldn't gather on the ground, what did we do to keep our art alive? We journeyed to the cloud: Playwrights created works that could be performed and witnessed from anywhere with a Wi-fi signal, whether that be a remote desert island or a childhood bedroom. This collection of eleven plays isn't just an artifact of a trying time—it's a testament to innovation and creativity. While you may no longer need to produce them online, they are easy to adapt for live performance because just like theatre during those virtual years, these plays are still alive.
