True / Story, based on a true story
"Can you write a play about your estranged father dying during a global pandemic without it becoming trauma porn and should you even try?" — FYI, if this can be two questions instead of one run-on, I'd love that (e.g. "Can you write a play about your estranged father dying during a global pandemic without it becoming trauma porn? Should you even try?"). If it must be one, go with the above.
