In March of 2020 members of Doncaster’s theatre community were busy in workshops preparing for their opening performance of The Caucasian Chalk Circle at Cast.
However, like most things Covid-19 put that on hold.
Despite the pausing of the production, work has continued over the last year to bring theatre to people across Doncaster.
