From ‘the announcement’, through the confusion of government updates, in and out of lockdown, ‘Ghost Shows’ explores the unheard voices and impact of the pandemic on the day to day jobs and livelihoods of the freelance workforce.  Cast (in order of appearance): Sunita Hinduja - Company Stage Manager Adele Thomas - Director (Narrator) Maria Aberg - Director Lauren Grace - Actor Rona Munro - Writer Jessica Hung Han Yun - Lighting Designer Ruby May Martinwood - Actor Atri Banerjee - Director Emma Baggott - Director Gemma Smith - Company Stage Manager Freelancers Make Theatre Work website CurtainCall Website Learn more about your ad choices.
