Power dynamics, specifically between genders, has dominated public debate in Australia for the last few years but it is the issue of sexual assault in the workplace that is the principal topic of Norm Things. April is a young professional who is enjoying life and her job. Like many others there is always trouble with the occasional irritating staff member but this is highly common in any office. It is only when April is inducting a new staff member, the audience, on the social fabric of the office that the audience learn that the power structure is unbalanced well away from women. She powers through her busy schedule as she prepares for work drinks on Friday. Life goes on at the office including some impressive gossip, like rumours about a new set of security cameras with microphones installed around office. Whilst seeming ominous, April is more concerned about what it means for preparing for the weekend’s festivities. It is after the weekends fun that April’s life is irreparably changed. The title itself is intentionally provocative. It clearly insinuates that the power structure that exist in the workplace is not only normal but endemic. Written and performed by Jorja Bentley, it is a show that explains the difficulties experienced by women in corporate environments. That is the clearly defined point of the play that it is from her perspective, not one inferred or summarised by the latest news report. The play above all things is personal and educational.
