Since March, theatre has been virtually non-existent. As a nation, we have relied on virtual entertainment and arts to get us through the dreaded lockdown. Netflix, and latest phenomenon Disney+ have kept our creative juices flowing, but nothing can compare to the experience of seeing LIVE theatre. Therefore, you can imagine how thrilled I was to grab a ticket to the UK premiere of C-o-n-t-a-c-t, a socially distanced outdoor experience.
Yes, that’s right! Theatre is BACK ladies and gents, and more creative than ever.
Originating in France throughout summer in a world where “keep 2m apart” and avoiding coughing is the new normal, “C-o-n-t-a-c-t” delivers a modern and relatable story exploring the complexities of living with mental health and anxiety in the present day.
The story is told through the eyes (and thoughts!) of Sarah, who is approached by a man she believes to be a stranger. Little does she know; this man knows her much better than she thinks!
