Covid Moons
Covid Moons is a play by Clare Stopford
Contents
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.
Text published by Junkets Publisher in 2022.
