ConvenienceStoreWoman is a darkly funny BBCRadio4 audiodrama about the pressure to conform in society and a woman who just wants to live her life without hassles, scripted by AprilDeAngelis from the bestselling novel by SayakaMurata. / BBC
\nConvenience Store Woman is one of those things that BBC Radio Drama has done brilliantly for decades to the point of everyone taking it for granted: an adaptation of an acclaimed novel from another country. Keiko is a 36-year-old woman who's been working in the same Tokyo convenience store for eighteen years, her entire adult life. She's never had a boyfriend and has no desire for marriage or kids. Her family wishes she'd get a proper job and be 'normal.
Her sister and family's distress and fear that she doesn't act 'normal' and wishing she could be 'cured' are more about their – and society's demands than hers. Mental health issues are more misunderstood the more repressive and conformist society is. Convenience Store Woman is a satire about Japan's demand for conformism and how society – not just Japan's – is not prepared to cope with people unable or unwilling to follow the rules.
