Students grew tackling an emotionally relevant topic
When I first read about this play, I was hesitant to try to tackle it with my students because it is such a tough topic for any educator. Smith offered a perusal, and I asked my advanced theatre students if they were interested in doing a table read of it. They loved it and two students requested to direct it.
It is a great show to allow students to explore their emotional range with a situation they have sadly imagined themselves having to go through. We took it to our regional play festival and earned 3rd place. If you and your students want a deeply moving piece, I recommend Aftermath.
