Synopsis

The nation is facing the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The cast of a new play has gathered together to rehearse, but their time is cut short with the news that one of the cast members has contracted the virus. As they work out what this means for their production, it soon becomes clear that they have all had more intimate interactions with the infected cast member than anyone realized.

“Better to let sleeping dogs lie. Thanks very much, all the same.” - Dorothy L. Slayer

Note: This play contains strong language and scenes of a sexual nature.
