Play review - "Norm and Ahmed" by Alex Buzo (1968)

A solid short play dragged out beyond its natural length - Buzo has a marvellous facility with words and dialogue but isn't so great on story. It's a chat between an ocker Aussie and a Pakistani student, kind of an unofficial sequel to The One Day of the Year. You could interpret Norm as being a closet gay. Wonderful language just very long.
