New Normal
New Normal follows friends Aaravi, Minal, and Smriti as they navigate the past, present, and future after the unexpected arrival of people from the old world—Earth. Why have they come, and how will they adapt? When the trio meets Diya, they quickly realize that their world is about to change in ways they never imagined.
New Normal is an original play which has resulted from an exciting international collaboration between disabled artists in Nepal and Scotland. The play has been developed through 'Unwrap', a series of creative development workshops and weaves ideas and new writing from artists in both countries to create a truly collaborative new work of accessible theatre that explores how the tales we tell and the myths we build can define us and our societies. The play creatively embeds access provisions such as Nepali sign language, captioning and audio description.
