1988, 41 Minutes

A video of the controversial and critically acclaimed play by Alex Buzo. The action centres on a chance midnight meeting between the ocker Norm and an urbane Pakistani student, Ahmed. The script deals with issues of racism, alienation and prejudice. The tension between Norm's aggressiveness and Ahmed's politeness and reserve escalates into a shocking climax when Norm's bigotry turns to violence.

A sharp, satirical classic from the 1960s, Norm and Ahmed is perhaps even more pertinent today than when it was written.
