The New Normal by Walter Corwin presents six short two-character plays that capture the humor, heartache, and absurdity of contemporary American life. From a doctor balancing empathy with a patient’s misogyny, to unqualified figures running a university, to Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty clinging to hope, these stories highlight the deeply personal effects of a society pulled sharply to the right. With wit and poignancy, the collection reflects on resilience, conflict, and the search for meaning in uncertain times.
