The New Abnormal
A loving couple sweat out yet another lockdown in their New York apartment. Friction rises as the pressure of compliance to authority bites.
The New Abnormal explores the tension that comes from forced togetherness, as the mundane becomes serious & the surreal becomes normal.
As the country is pushed closer together - yet further & further apart - will these two ever again enjoy the outside world? Will they ever be considered essential? And will single ply toilet paper ever find its rightful place in the rubbish bin of history?
The Pandemic is back…. And this time, it’s personal.
Written by award winning playright Jeff Stolzer and directed/presented by Adelaide Fringe favourite Tim Marriott (BBC's The Brittas Empire). Performed by UK's Orion Powell and Adelaide's own Rachael Williams.
Presented by: Virtually Creative
