The Key Workers Cycle

These nine short plays from Francesca Beard, Sonali Bhattacharyya, Josh Elliott, Annie Jenkins, Eno Mfon, Nessah Muthy, Danusia Samal, Yomi Ṣode, and Molly Taylor pay tribute to the keyworkers of Islington in an echo of medieval mystery cycles. They’re performed in three parts of three: Part One is ‘Assembly: The Teachers’ Play’, ‘The Full Works: The Funeral Directors’ Play’ and ‘Face the Music: The Social Care Workers’ Play’; Part Two is ‘Waste: The Refuse Collectors’ Play’, ‘Smiles Behind the Masks: The Midwives’ Play’ and ‘The Essence of the Job is Speed: The Delivery Drivers’ Play’; Part Three is ‘More than We Can Bear: The Womens’ Centre Workers’ Play’, ‘Next Please! The Supermarket Workers’ Play’ and ‘Stand Clear: The TFL Worker’ Play’.
