classic”

“this
is an incredible play: engrossing and exhausting and
confronting.”
(Australian Stage Online)
"NORM AND AHMED by Alex Buzo was the equivalent of (British
play) LOOK BACK IN ANGER in terms of a play that was a
landmark in the development of a national
drama."
(Phillip

to enquire about the following workshops
“the students loved the workshop, they discussed it for the remainder of the day, they also really appreciated your passion towards the play.”
(Bossley Park High School)
This practical 2 hour workshop developed by Emma Buzo, Laurence Coy & Craig Meneaud can be tailored not only to NSW HSC Drama students, but to all ages, subjects and budgets. Students will gain an insight into the rich history of this infamous work and experience the plights of both "Norm" and "Ahmed" first hand. Participants are guided through a range of exercises and experiences to expand and stimulate their knowledge of the text. These three dynamic presenters have a long and varied association with this work and are able to share their insights in a practical and entertaining context.
In two hours, you covered what would have taken us two weeks”
(The King’s School)
