I can’t even remember the last time I had a Ribena. That’s bad. Of course, you can’t just wander into a shop like you used to. It all has to be carefully calculated. I mean, there’s usually drinks at home. Even if it’s not Ribena class. Do you risk the coronavirus for the Ribena? Or let the Ribena go and protect each other and the NHS? Put it like that and you can see how some people are living without Ribena.

There are no content warnings, but it is quite filthy in more ways than one. Cat sick, body part puns and an image nobody needs in their head. (I don’t blame the cat. I really don’t.)

Mo is a nan, living alone in the pandemic. She’s expecting her granddaughter, but she’s late. Mo thinks about some of the things her granddaughter might be doing instead of visiting her nan.

Romani Girl is the story of two girls who are friends. They say they’ll be friends forever, but then one of them meets a boy and everything changes. Everyone’s experience is unique, but most people have experienced something like this. It doesn’t even have to be a relationship. A new job, a new hobby, an old hobby that suddenly asks for a bigger commitment… there are so many things that can come between you and your friends.

Content warning: Some of the Press Play Here videos contain strong language.

The Theatre Royal Stratford East have created a series of short videos to help us through our third national lockdown. I’ve only watched one so far, but the titles look interesting and varied and I’m looking forward to watching them.
