Covid Moons is a play by Clare Stopford

The original text

Written by Stopford, with contributions by Kathu Ramabulana, it is a play about Magda and Lufuno, who are neighbours in an upmarket apartment block in central Cape Town. Strangers to each other and from very different backgrounds, alone and isolated during Covid lockdown, they navigate a relationship around the dividing wall of their balconies.
