Summary:

"2020 was not a great year for a variety of reasons, particularly because of Covid-19. This book includes forty-five short plays that show the lighter side of quarantine, lockdown, and social distancing. The virus is nothing to laugh at, but these plays provide a bit of levity in these unprecedented and stressful times. Laughter, after all, is the best medicine!"-- Back cover.
