BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, All the world's a stage

Michael Morpurgo reflects... a year on from the first lockdown.

Michael Morpurgo argues that rebuilding the arts can be an opportunity for 'levelling up at its best'.

A year on from the first lockdown, Michael Morpurgo reflects on the effect the last twelve months have had on him - and on the arts world in general.  

He describes the impact of a world with no theatres, no concert halls, no cinemas, no audiences.  

"Until now," Michael writes, "I don't think I truly realised just how important, how intense, this live relationship can be, for me and for an audience too." 

Producer: Adele Armstrong
