COVID-19 might have temporarily changed the way we make and experience theatre, but we are still committed to supporting our writers and actors to create it, and make it available to our audiences. So we have commissioned Kali SOLOS a mini series of monologues, written by Kali writers in response to the current crisis, and performed and recorded in isolation by Kali actors.
