To the Zoom and Back

Recommended by

  • John Mabey: To the Zoom and Back

    There is something timeless with plays about people struggling to find a connection. In this case it's during a pandemic, but the dialogue between these characters is so relatable beyond a moment in history. In TO THE ZOOM AND BACK, Cindi Sansone-Braff has such insight and empathy for these different characters and finds the threads that both brings them together as well as bringing the audience inside their world.

    This is such a lovely piece despite being set in a world that we are all familiar with, where Covid doesn't allow us to have a 'normal' dating life. The characters Cindi has created for this virtual date are lovely and the interaction had me smiling pretty much all the way through. This piece is proof that Covid hasn't quite ruined all theatre. A touching and lovely piece that deserves a stage.

    What a great romantic comedy with two senior adults which is also funny. Sansone-Braff carves out a little slice of Covid life for the reader and what a delight this first date was for us and them.
