To say we’re getting used to the current lockdown is likely to be far from true. Whether we’re working way more or less than usual, the time of ‘business as unusual’ is here for some time yet. For those finding themselves with more time on their hands, the average day is probably bringing new challenges – but we can still use this rare season to put our pausing to good use.

We look at:

  • Did William Shakespeare truly write King Lear, Macbeth and other plays during lockdown?
  • Did Sir Isaac Newton truly produce a bunch of his mathematical laws while quarantined?
  • While we need to be kind to ourselves, some downtime presents a rare opportunity to explore fresh ways of thinking.

* Post-covid we've now closed the forum.
