Shia LaBeouf is directing a play about COVID-19.

What was it like on set? Well, there was a lot of yelling and chaos. Then, we had to leave.

Events are based on interviews conducted with real front-line workers.

As they rehearse, LaBeouf is often yelling, gripping a plastic coffee cup. “It’s not realistic, it’s not real!” he shrieks. “Come on! It’s not working!”
