A BBC Radio 4 documentary allows young people to speak directly about their experiences of the pandemic
Adults, Almost mixes anecdotes and interviews with clips recorded in teenagers’ homes, as well as musical and spoken word sequences.
There has been much hand-wringing about how lockdowns have affected children and young adults in Britain. But rarely do we hear directly from teenagers themselves about how they’ve felt in the pandemic. This eccentric, delightfully chaotic documentary (8 June, 11am) from Company Three youth theatre is a vivid portrait of adolescent experiences of the past year. Described as a “time capsule”, it has the feel of an audio collage, mixing anecdotes and interviews with clips recorded in teenagers’ homes, and musical and spoken word sequences.
