Pandemic Snakes and Ladders Instructions
To go with Pandemic Snakes and Ladders I have written a small piece that combines the instructions of the game with a socio-political commentary on the Covid-19 pandemic within the UK. Within this piece I have purposefully written in a very blunt way which I hope adds to the comical element of this piece.
Using comedy within an artwork is something very new to me. However, I think the use of comedy makes it easier to talk about quite difficult topics and in many cases acts as a coping method as well as something that helps us to understand that situation we are in.
Take a journey through the Covid-19 pandemic experience in the UK.
Aim for the ladders that will help keep the R-rate down. But watch out, there’s plenty of snakes trying to work out the value of life versus the economy.
Don’t forget to clap on a Thursday, but don’t get your hopes up, there are no pay rises in sight. (Unless you work in parliament.)
Watch out for the tempting Eat Out To Help Out. As long as you’re ready to take the blame when cases start rising.
Talking about taking the blame, students and young people, I hope you’re prepared.
