We’ve all been to the doctor for a consultation. But this week, Augustin, 11, had a “poetic consultation” over the phone. A what? He told WoW! about it and about how it cheered him up during lockdown.

Problem?
Lockdown can get us all down and make us feel lonely; it’s very hard for actors who can’t work because theatres are shut.
Solution!
Actors have gone to work by telephone, talking to people and choosing poems to perform for them. It cheers everyone up!
