The Corona Variations
A cycle of six short phone plays set in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic performed every half hour on one evening for one audience member (or household) at a time. One of the plays involved spontaneous improvisation by the audience-listener. Two others provided a script for the audience-player to assume a role.
