On Monday 16th March 2020, The Society of London Theatre announced the closure of all Theatres in London. This followed suit with regional venues. Where were you when you found out and what was your initial reaction?
I was at home with a friend trying to figure out what to do next.
Can you tell us anything productive you’ve been doing?
I've been doing quite a few things, I've actually rediscovered my passion for cooking and baking and I've been creating some lovely dishes. I'm also doing some fitness classes online to work off those dishes! I've been working my green fingers in the garden which has been very relaxing and therapeutic. I've picked up the guitar again which I love, I'm practising french again and I'm editing small projects which I put on my YouTube channel.
