Free cuppa for a story

A pop up shop on The Moor is celebrating the people of Sheffield and their stories. You can walk in to the cafe and get a free cuppa in exchange for telling a story or two. The Bare Project is a local theatre company which has temporarily taken over the old Woolworths on The Moor.  They are collecting the stories and memories of people,  who go in to the cafe,  in exchange for a cuppa.  Some of the stories will be turned in to a performance by local playwrights while others will be put in to an archive.

We asked them how the situation is affecting them and their friends and families back in Hong Kong.
