Set on a space station, three people are measuring 'The Norm'. Throughout the show we have excerpts of interviews with those experiencing psychosis from one point or another read out during pauses in the action. I found the use of video cameras and visual displays somewhat distracting, as I was more interested in where they were positioned than in the visuals they were or were not displaying.

Some of the stage directions were superb but some just totally confusing. I am not sure what point if any they were trying to get across. The performers jumped from persona to persona with no defining alterations I was not clear as to who I was watching when.

Despite this it was an interesting evening if somewhat strange. If anyone can offer any explanations please contact me.
