LISTENING TO THE SURVIVORS: Ghost Stories from the Recent Plague
This a a one act verse play based on a series of poems by the same collective title in Talking to the Machines and Other Poems.
The play is suitable for stage or radio or table read performance. It is an account, in diverse voices, of the impacts, costs, and sufferings of victims of long COVID, but it also goes to the experience of the many silent sufferers of the after effects of infections.
The narrator recounts his visitations by a series of twelve ghosts, each of which has a different tale of the half life/half death of prolonged recovery.
