Last March, Liverpool s Everyman theatre opened its new play, Our Lady of Blundellsands, starring Josie Lawrence and written by Jonathan Harvey.
After a week, it closed again.
That was when Covid-19 shut all theatres, and most have stayed dark since. But what has happened to people involved in the performing arts over the past 12 months?
Some of those who worked on Our Lady of Blundellsands give a snapshot of what has happened over the past year - from cast members, to backstage staff who ended up working in warehouses or making face masks, to an usher who became a model during lockdown.

Cezar was one who suffered in silence throughout his life, he had pain and breathing problems almost every day. He never shrugged from responsibility or lending a helping hand. He used his humor and easy-going nature to push away the negativity of the world or those who were gloomy. He loved to laugh and seldom found a reason to frown. He was a writer, a thinker, a tinkerer, a plumber, mover, entrepreneur, cleaner, Santa, student, advocate for the “underdog”, boxer, artist, shopper and anything he needed to be to “fix” things or make something better for whomever needed help.
