FOUND: Days in quarantine review looking back to lockdown - What They Never Told You

This part-verbatim drama concerns the lives of twentysomethings in the pandemic lockdown. A debut written and directed by Jules Chan, who performs too, there is clapping for the NHS, Adriene’s online yoga and talk of the test-and-trace system and stockpiled toilet paper that seems almost surreal in its reminder of what we have recently been through.

But the play also returns us to that time without bringing anything beyond its documentation, and feels too underdeveloped in its drama, even for a debut with mainly new graduates as actors.
