As Shawna heads to a party at her friend’s house, her parents caution her to be careful. She reassures them that she doesn’t drink, and with a quick kiss goodbye, she’s out the door... never to return.
This powerful one-act shows how simple and common the events leading up to a night of tragedy can be. It gives the audience the opportunity to see firsthand that beyond knowing who’s to blame for Shawna’s death, there are other people — even Shawna herself — who share some responsibility for the sequence of events that led up to the catastrophic car crash. The dramatic script also reminds us that there are other victims whose lives were permanently altered by the fateful decisions made that night.
Ideal as the opening to a discussion about teen drinking and driving, the play does not preach, but instead asks teens to learn from the tragedy that unfolds here. Theatre can be life-changing; with this play, it can literally be life-saving.
