COVID BE DAMNED

by Melda Beaty

Four "sister friends" meet for their Sunday ZOOM bonding; it's a pandemic after all, but what happens when one sister friend journeys out-of-state for a family wedding exposing herself, her daughter, and her pre-existing condition to COVID? This Sunday's ZOOM quickly becomes a no holds barred, COVID be damned discussion that redefines what it means to not be okay.

COVID BE DAMNED

Recommended by

  • Jordan Bird: COVID BE DAMNED by Melda Beaty
    “

    COVID BE DAMNED almost hurts to read. Beaty taps into the dismay, the frustration, the anger, the terror, and the heartache that has descended on us during this pandemic. These women all come from different perspectives and have unique responses to the spread of COVID. This play will read like a very honest and earnest time capsule when life returns to "normal." A perfect play to be produced now and later.
