←Recommendations of Badger and Frame

A beautiful memory of what could have been, might have been. Ephraim meets the widow of his teenage best friend Badger, and they share their own very different sides of the relationships they had with him. Written with sympathy, honesty, and some humor, this is a touching portrayal of what forms love can take.

A great mix of coming-of-age and revisiting-the-past! A powerful story about connection and loss. I loved the humor sprinkled throughout the script, as well!

What a beautiful show about love, loss, and the relationships that never leave you. Scott, an accomplished and remarkable writer, offers a fantastic story in present time and in a memory a long time ago. You find yourself rooting for nearly all of the characters as they are brought to life in various ways. Overall, you get a great sense of love from this show. Highly recommend!

In this emotional play, Scott Sickles writes beautifully and honestly about that awkward time in young adolescence when two young men didn't quite know who they were becoming. As so often happens, they won't figure that out until after they've gone their separate ways. The characters and the atmosphere surrounding them are masterfully wrought and the impressions they leave are lasting ones. Bravo!

Scott Sickles has written a touching and powerful one-act about secrets, childhood memories, and friendships that transcend friendship. Simply, lovingly written. Badger and Frame’s intimate maybe-more-than-friendship is one for the ages, and this story deserves to be told.

A beautiful play about memories, meaningful connection and the way we work through it all together to go forward. Well done.

Sickles's one-act play "Badger and Frame" is about secrets, memories and stories not told. It's about loss and consideration for others who have lost more. It's a coming-of-age tale as well as a letting-go-of-the-past story. Ephraim's life-altering, unforgettable summer is juxtaposed well by Mary Kate's lifetime of sameness. Subtle, wonderful dialogue and actions reveal these -- and other -- characters.

This is a lovely, deeply touching meditation on the legacy of forbidden, adolescent love. It's a simple story, simply told, with characters that have profoundly rich inner lives. Despite the grief inherent in the scenario, the characters make connections with one another that are meaningful and satisfying. The script has the feel of a well-crafted short story. And like all good stories, it hovers between quiet sadness and glimmers of hope. Well worth reading and producing.
