A hilarious Australian theatrical production set inside the hyper-glossed walls of a fictional department store that explores issues around workplace exploitation in the service industry. 

The Global Citizen - a world where employees are owed ten months of commission, customers are panicking due to the impending doom of Christmas and the exhausted staff are preparing for YET ANOTHER sale. The (failed-actor) Manager of women’s shoes is terrified as the Regional Manager will soon inspect the floor. Consequently, employees TAYLOR (frustrated law student), HELEN (former model/mother) and ANITA (mechatronics student) are feeling the force of his anxiety amidst the visitation of the wonderful species known as: THE CUSTOMER…

The Global Citizen is a comedy, which seeks to explore employment law issues faced by workers in retail such as: workplace bullying, wage inequality and poor management. Written by Verity Norbury and created by the team at Norbury Productions, a new independent theatre group focused on making performances that highlight legal issues in the community, we are very excited to present this work. This production has also been shaped with the support of The Butterfly Club and presented as part of their One-Act Play Festival. The Global Citizen is perfect for anyone who knows, all too well, the pain of working in (or purchasing from) Australia's leading retailers.
