Nobody Heard Me Cry
Author(s):
Vern Harden
Your audiences will feel the heart and soul of a teenage boy caught in a downward spiral of depression. The play chronicles Justin's slow and painful deterioration through his journal entries. We learn of his anger surrounding his father's untimely death, his disappointment at not getting into the police academy and his constant sense of isolation, even when around other kids his age. Though Justin's mother and friends try to reach out to him, he pushes them all away. Sadly, they give up too easily, not fathoming the depth of his anguish. The offstage gunshot that tramatically concludes this play delivers a powerful message to listen to people's cries. If we hesitate before reaching out and helping them, we might be too late.
