Norm Things

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Drama

Australia • World Premiere

It’s your first week at the new job, and April is ready to give you the 411 on office gossip, work drinks and the systems that fail us… you know, norm things. But beware - between a morning coffee and a tragedy, you'll be forced to ask - what is normal, anyway? April is ready to tell all, so get ready for your induction. Holding its world premiere at the 2022 Adelaide Fringe, ‘Norm Things’ is a timely piece prompted by the reignited anti-sexual violence movement that has taken place globally this past year. This original work is created by queer female and non-binary emerging artists who are demanding better.
