★★★★ THE UPCOMING
Torben Betts has written Apollo 13 during lockdown, carefully ensuring that the actors and backstage crew can remain socially distanced throughout filming. Not only that, but he has also incorporated a notion of the trials and tribulations of “the pestilence” from which we are all suffering into a script that runs for just over one hour. Compelling.
