We ve become accustomed in recent times to being told that those who have died from Covid are people, not statistics. As though any one needed to be told (with the exception, perhaps, of those who have wangled their way to holidays abroad).
Acknowledged as more than statistics, people always have back stories. And playwright Sonya Kelly, always sharply observant, has taken a real-life incident in 2017 to explore three imagined back stories which have nothing to do with Covid, but relate to lives personally disrupted in an instant.
A man jogging across Putney Bridge in London cannoned into a woman walking in the opposite direction. She fell - into the street, into the path of an approaching bus. The bus driver managed to avoid the woman through expert driving and speedy reaction time. She was bruised, battered, and shocked. But she was alive. The man who had caused her fall didn t know that - he had continued his run and has never been traced.
