This production was created during the second national UK Covid lockdown, rehearsed via zoom and then toured between the second and third national lockdown. You can see from the performance that the actors are working in three separate bubbles throughout both onstage as they were backstage. The socially distanced production was performed to an empty auditorium and streamed live by the technical team at Lakeside Arts Nottingham. Oddsocks then managed to tour to three more venues before the tour was cut short by the third lockdown. The production was created using funding from Arts Council England and DCMS Cultural Recovery Funding.
Oddsocks would like to thank everyone involved in making this unique production possible. It stands as a record of what can be achieved at times of immense pressure and difficulties during a time of crisis.
