Socially Distant
Film and resources are available upon request
What happens when we’re deprived of human contact? Join us as we tell the story of a teacher in isolation working through the death of his son. Our new digital Theatre in Education programme, ‘Socially Distant’, is inspired by the themes that have come to light during the pandemic, as well as those found in Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ – disconnection, isolation, repression and civil dissonance.
Tried and tested by our school and university partners, the monodrama aims to help young people talk about their own experiences of lockdown, the pandemic and loss. The four-part film is supported by educational resources, empowering teachers to facilitate a highly impactful Theatre in Education experience. It is especially ideal for teachers and lecturers of drama, and for PSHE and SMSC purposes.
