Super/Normal
The ethos of Super/Normal and other plays was to enable people to talk about potentially tricky subjects through comedy. The short play format also gives performers like myself (with invisable and chronic conditions) the chance to perform without burning themselves out, while also doing the same for an audience that may have difficulty focusing for long periods of time.
15 minute Call
It is 15 minutes before the show starts and Movie Star (and leading man), Robert Dulcimer, is nowhere to be found. The understudy is in the hospital and the director is about to explode. If only there were someone else who knew the words.
Cake
It’s Susan’s Birthday, and she is all on her own. Except for the
presenters of her favourite TV shows, of course. They are always
there to make her feel better. Although today, they are starting to
get a little bit too close for comfort.
Mannequin Piece
Faced with the prospect of meeting her bestie’s new boyfriend,
Anna’s social anxiety is through the roof. When her flat mate brings a mannequin home from work, Anna sees the opportunity for a little bit of…practice.
Super/Normal
The UK’s premier team of Superheroes have suddenly lost their
superpowers. Forced to attend 'Normal Club', at the local Job Centre, they must learn how to reintegrate into society by way of a government scheme.
