This is an original play, written by Andy Harris and set in May 2020. The UK is in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. Annie lives in a care home and effectively is self-isolating as she is over 80 and potentially vulnerable, but alongside many others in the same position. She has one child a daughter in the USA and a grandson, Tom living fairly local. Annie is feeling very alone during the lockdown.
The play was audio recorded using Zoom conferencing facilities and it's audio recording capabilities. There are some parts of the audio recording that are worse than others but this is understandable with the limitations of the internet connectivity and recording process. We ask your patience and understanding when listening. All actors were in their own homes, no get togethers at all except on-line.
