Theatre of Debate presents ‘Covid and Me’ a series of filmed monologues written by some of the UK’s best dramatists, including Sarah Daniels, Oladipo Agboluaje and Sudha Bhuchar.

Each monologue tells the story of how people from different communities, have been affected by the COVID-19 treatment, vaccination trials and the fake news swirling around social media. Several of the monologues are performed in different Langauges including Punjab, Urdu and Bangla

Commissioned by The National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and co produced in partnership with Leeds University (led by Prof Sue Pavitt), the ‘Covid and Me’ Monologues were inspired by a series of creative workshops, in which members of different communities shared their lived in experiences with the playwrights.
