Rohan Candappa has founded The Lockdown Theatre Company, a virtual theatre company which united performers from across the country in an online video series of 20 films made during the first 16 weeks of lockdown.
His motivation was to support, nurture and pay actors left struggling when the theatres closed. The films, featuring performers from across the UK and as far afield as New Zealand, cover a huge range of topics and were all written, directed & produced by Rohan. All the films were self-taped by performers under socially distanced measures and rehearsed on WhatsApp. The project has been funded from money allocated to Rohan’s budget for a 2020 Fringe show, supplemented by a crowd-funding appeal on Kickstarter and Facebook. The finale 'London Calling' was released on 7 September, the 80th anniversary of the start of the Blitz and was inspired by news reports that the weekly fatalities caused by Covid-19 at one point outstripped those in the Blitz at its peak.
The full series of films is available on YouTube or can be viewed here:
