Coronavirus – A Great British Farce at The Lantern Theatre

Joe went a little bit mad during lockdown just like you did and its hilariously cathartic to watch. This smash-hit Camden Fringe show is inspired by the writers ridiculous lockdown diaries and its the best way to laugh away the trauma of the past 18 months. Joes stuck in a tiny flat trying to make sense of the pandemic. One day, whilst watching a government briefing on TV, he decides to answer back. This sets off a surreal conversation with Boris? Or maybe its his friend on Facebook? Or maybe its his fridge.Brought to you by writer-director team Mark Daniels and Edwina Strobl, this Offie-nominated dark satirical comedy offers a unique take on the British response to the pandemic. The plays two actors (rising stars Kathryn Haywood and Edward Bartram) take you on a high-energy farcical journey from panic buying to Jackie Weaver, with an unhealthy dose of British gusto thrown in. This is absurd, relatable, laugh-out-loud comedy at its best. You simply have to see it.
