All the world's a stage

A Point of View

Available for over a year

A year on from the first lockdown, Michael Morpurgo reflects on the effect the last twelve months have had on him - and on the arts world in general. He describes the impact of a world with no theatres, no concert halls, no cinemas, no audiences. "Until now," Michael writes, "I don't think I truly realised just how important, how intense, this live relationship can be, for me and for an audience too." Producer: Adele Armstrong
