An entertaining and thought-provoking audio documentary from Baboró Artist in Residence Maisie Lee, a director of theatre and radio. Maisie captured the thoughts, feelings and experiences of over 100 children and young people in Galway City and County during the Covid 19 pandemic.
The piece makes for poignant listening, capturing both the highs and lows of an unprecedented period in these children’s lives. A bittersweet testimony but not without its lighter moments. Original music and sound design by Anna Mullarkey.
