If you’ve never or rarely use ZOOM, here are a few easy steps to get you started.

 

What is ZOOM?

ZOOM is an on-line, internet-based, videoconferencing software.

What do I need to join a ZOOM meeting?

You DO NOT need to create an account to join a ZOOM meeting.

Despite a number of cast members being missing, Drama Teacher Nikki is pressing on with her rehearsal of 'All’s Well...' Unfortunately, she also has to contend with pupils sent to her for detention, the cleaner, and the Head

‘Old’ Millie is on her regular trip to a quiet corner of her local cemetery, to visit the war memorial, “her cenotaph”y and to remember.

‘Young’ Jo is only passing through and will be content to not ‘get done’ for just being there.

The story provides a glimpse into a brief meeting which arrived from nowhere but yet, could lead to somewhere. Where taking the time to chat, to explain and to understand without judgement can open doors which should never have been allowed to close.

It illustrates that innocence is not the reserve of any particular age and appreciating what winning and losing really mean, can bring prizes beyond expectation: it can bring understanding.

'The Cenotaph' is a brief and gentle story of age, encounters and new friendships.
