Norman has been a moving force in American drama for many years. The New York Times called her new one-act play, Trudy Blue, a "beautiful" work and a "vivid and stirring reminder of just what a fine observer of the interior life she is."
Norman won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for her play 'Night, Mother. The play also won four Tony nominations, the Dramatists Guild's prestigious Hull-Warriner Award and the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. A feature film, starring Anne Bancroft and Sissy Spacek, with a screenplay by Norman, was released in August 1986. 'Night, Mother has been translated into 23 languages and has been performed around the world.
She also received a Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for her Broadway musical The Secret Garden.
