 Norman then returned to the UK to pursue a career in theatre design, while Suzanne remained in SA, and Tony, after returning to the UK to teach and study, returned to SA to pursue his career as a human rights lawyer, and eventually also a Buddhist teacher.
 In England he was for 4 years the Resident Designer at the Almost Free Theatre in London and designed +/- 40 new plays by writers such as Edward Bond, Tom Stoppard, Robert Patrick and Heathcote Williams. Received a Young Designers Award from the Arts Council of Great Britain and studied theatre design in Germany. He then joined the British American Repertory Company and designed Stoppard's ''[[Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth]]'', ''[[Dirty Linen]]'' and  ''[[The Irish Hebrew Lesson]]'' by English playwright Wolf Mankowitz (1924-1998)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Mankowitz].
 Going freelance, Norman went on to design for such establishments as the Overground Theatre Club, RADA, Rose Bruford College, the Shaw Theatre, The Criterion and the Churchill. He also continued doing the occasional designs in South Africa.
