←Recommendations of Scared

Thomas approaches a difficult topic in an accessible and compassionate way in this fascinating script.

Sad and haunting. Wyne Alyse Thomas, through the voices of her young characters, makes disturbingly clear the horrors today’s schoolchildren must face. This important play has a message that needs to be shared far and wide.

Wow. As a former teacher and mother, this short play emotionally hits me on all levels. The beautiful innocence juxtaposed with gritty maturity is powerful message as two young people are both SCARED and AFRIAD of the world around them. And the song... phew.

One word: WOW. Cate's last line, especially! Just wow. Someone needs to get this into a theatre immediately!

The initial rhyme in this place cuts to the core and will surely have the audience gripped immediately. Wyn has described perfectly in this piece how must all feel in such circumstances, and no matter how we try to protect the young from the true horror, we are all scared. Excellent work which needs to be performed.

I didn't think it was possible for a piece of theatre to make me feel so much in such a short amount of time. Wyn Alyse Thomas brilliantly creates a story that is all too real and perfectly demonstrates what many people today feel in regards to gun violence.

This poignant play hurts the heart. It captures a reality that is sometimes too hard to face. In Scared, Wyn Alyse Thomas has shown us a dark truth about modern life and modern childhood.
