Reminiscences and Anecdotes
Auditions and most of the rehearsals for this show took place virtually, during the second national lockdown in November 2020. The cast and crew only met in person for the first time 8 days before the first performance. On Monday 14 December the government announced that London would be moving from Tier 2 to Tier 3 under the coronavirus regulations on Wednesday 16 December, which meant that no more of the planned performances could take place. The planned live streamed performance was brought forward from Thursday 17 to Tuesday 15 December, just before the cutoff for live performance.
