Responding to a restless, internal dialogue, my writing comes from a unifying desire to connect with people as I do as a performer and teacher, seizing the moment and transforming it.
`Impassioned, clear prose.’ (Carol Bergman, writer: NY, 2018)Norma Cohen is a London based writer/performer whose writing ranges from novels and short stories to plays for stage and radio. Much of her work reflects, with a light touch and a deal of sardonic humour, her experience of growing up in Liverpool in a Jewish Communist household during the Cold War era. Trained as a dancer, Norma moved into theatre, later into arts journalism and fiction writing. She has written eight plays and currently maintains both strands of her professional life, writing and performing.
