Secret Country

A live online Life Story performance exploring older people’s experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic and the hope that gets you through.

Performed live on Zoom from 16th–18th December 2020, Secret Country was the first performance created by Re-Live’s Company of Elders during the pandemic. Blending life story performance, poetry, and song, the show became a powerful act of connection during lockdown and attracted widespread attention, including features in The Guardian and BBC Radio 4’s Front Row.
