  • Summary

  • Uncovidable is what happens when a plucky woman is stopped mid-life and told to stay put for 21 days in a nationwide lockdown as a result of the Covid19 pandemic. Based on the wish-it-wasn’t true story of Vekeana Dhillon’s account, the sudden stop has her fictionalized version examining the situations and behaviours of those around her. Being locked down has her opening up her eyes to see a lot more than she ever noticed before.

    This humorous and relatable story unfolds through a series of unanswered voice messages she leaves on her best friend’s phone. As she doggedly pursues her evasive friend, she describes her sometimes outrageous but always genuine experiences of her life in limbo dodging Covid19, with her husband and brother - her lockdown cellmates.

    Listen in to this 21 part series and get lost in the intrigue.

    New episodes from Uncovidable will get released on a weekly basis.
