This play was actually produced and filmed in 2019, in
response to the changing attitudes to mental health and addiction. I didn’t
know that when I first watched it. The emotions and situations the character,
played by Weruche Opia, seem to describe the current situation so well. The
need to stay in motion, as many people have done with their exercising and
baking. (I didn’t get into all that. Me and ovens aren’t the best combination.
I’m not too bad at the actual cooking part, but not so good at
remembering to switch the thing off.) The feeling of being overwhelmed. Of not
quite knowing what was going on. I honestly thought it was written in lockdown
till I read the video description.
