Digital scrapbooks by children and teenagers are the funniest – and most bracing – reflections on lockdown. Now theatre is giving them the chance to put their fears and hope on stage

Some of the most illuminating theatrical projects to emerge – alongside heaps of streamed content, live events, podcasts and play-kits – are digital scrapbooks. These scrapbooks include videos, poems and essays created by children and teenagers and are among the most funny, thoughtful and bracingly honest reflections about the Covid-19 crisis.
