Although in person rehearsals did resume where<br>restrictions permitted, they were never relaxed to an extent that<br>rehearsals for a full production could take place.<br>We produced a short digital film, directed and written by the cast – which<br>was well received. Fundraising efforts continued in the background, where<br>activity mainly moved online in order to continue the momentum but keep<br>on the right side of the restrictions on public meeting.|
