Presently, the cases have diminished in Europe but the spread has moved elsewhere. However, how safe is ‘safe’ at the moment?

WhatsTheirNames? Theatre are hosting a one-time event, this evening on Facebook at 1930hrs. It's basically a re-imagining for the Zoom generation (as of last month, everyone) of their 2018 performance at The Pub of William Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing. Here's what they say on their event page:

We've (virtually) reunited the cast of our 2018 show MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING for a one-time only live-streamed reading of Shakespeare's classic comedy. Our actors will be safely cocooned in their own homes, streaming directly to yours, wherever you find yourself. It will then be available to view on-demand for 24 hours before disappearing into the ether forever.

Featuring Joseph Zammit, Tina Rizzo, Nathan Brimmer, Gianni Selvaggi, Giulia Xuereb and Philip Leone-Ganado, you can find the EVENT PAGE HERE.
