A charity transforming the lives of care-leavers using drama and long term support, The Big House returns to their highly praised production The Ballad of Corona V with an updated and remixed version. Professional actors, several who are The Big House alumni, will be joined by an ensemble of care-leavers and at-risk young people who will work with The Big House on essential life-skills before coming together to rehearse and perform the show. The Ballad of Corona V - The Remix will take audiences on a promenade, socially distanced journey through The Big House building, presenting snapshots of the past year through the eyes of London's young people in a raw and biting satire. The Ballad of Corona V - The Remix takes you on a dark and comic musical journey through The Big House building to tell you the tale of Covid-19 in London 2021. Has it all just been a bad dream? If so, then when did it start? Who is Stefan Prince? Do dickheads really matter? And can Boris bring us all out of lockdown in time to save Pancake Day?
