Ramin Karimloo and his son Hadley challenged the Olivier Award-winning improvisers The Showstoppers to compose a brand new musical theatre song in just 24 hours. The theme was parents having to teach their kids at home during the pandemic lockdown, and in the style of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'School of Rock'.
This time, as part of his #ASonnetADay series, Stewart took on Sonnet 34.
