Theatre show set to put the Black experience of pandemic and vaccines in context

CREDIT is due to Pitlochry Festival Theatre (PFT) for being one of the founders of Sound Stage, a podcast drama platform created in response to the closure of theatres by the Covid pandemic.

The playhouses may have opened their doors again, but there is something appropriate about the online broadcasts of Blaccine: The First Dose, a series of three monologues, hosted by Sound Stage, which contemplate the Black experience of the pandemic and the vaccine programme.

Created by London theatre company Stockroom and co-produced with PFT, the pieces premiered last Thursday, and will be broadcast online again on January 19 and 26 (ticketed at £8).
