FIGHT BACK FESTIVAL 2020
Presented by The New Theatre and TakeYourSeats.ie
She’s always been different to other people. But now there’s
a pandemic, everyone is becoming more like her. Stuck
indoors with just six liters of bleach, sixty toilet rolls and her
smartphone for company, she’s becoming increasingly
anxious and isolated as she tries to navigate love in the time
of coronavirus.
