Words from Michael Rosen:

"In March 2020, I got Covid. My condition dipped and I was put into an induced coma for 40 days. By the time I got home after 3 months in hospital, I was weak and confused. I started to write poems to help me get a handle on what had happened and what was happening day by day now that I was out. I also had a diary that the nurses wrote for me while I was unconscious. This film is the chain of poems, nurses' letters and my wife Emma's emails to the family. I can see now that it's a map of what we all went through in that time: patients, doctors, nurses, families and the attitudes that emerged in that historic moment ."

This film has been supported by Apples and Snakes as part of their 40th anniversary.

Written and Performed by Michael Rosen
