"What a wonderful play. My colleagues and I all loved it. it was far more layered and professional than we could have ever imagined. We are sure the audience will have all learned a lot and the play will stay with everyone."
"Such a moving, emotional
and insightful evening.
Siyani Sheth, I can't even imagine what you've been through...but, you were brave enough to put it all out there and you gave us a window into your life and your experiences. As a dad, your 'gift' to me - helping me understand better the stuff you teenagers go through - hopefully means I can be better father to my own daughter. You are talented beyond belief and you have so much to offer our world. I look forward to seeing you 'set the world on fire'."
"I was touched by Siyani's bravery, talent and most importantly, her focus on increasing public awareness. It was well balanced with being both emotional and at times humorous. To say it was a breath of fresh air is an understatement, it was like fresh oxygen!"
“Tonight I witnessed bravery beyond anything I have known.
I am still in tears and so moved… I felt so privileged to be in the audience.”
“Last night was a real triumph, and so impressive and important on so many levels, for young people to know they are not alone, for friends and family to understand the journey of mental illness, and for our society to understand that speaking about difficulties is a critical step towards healing. I loved the set, the dialogue, the staging, it was all so brilliant and moving.”
“I felt so emotional after the play…the most important part for me was Siyani’s dialogue with her younger self (in the closing scene).”
“Powerful story and piece of work. It was a privilege to have been able to see it brought to life in the way it was.“
“The play was so raw and authentic and all the more powerful for that.”
“An impressively full house immersed in her experience, which will now inform ours. Beautifully crafted, so personal and real. During the interval and as we travelled home, Siyani’s story prompted discussion and opportunities to share our own stories. What a gift to generate that sort of sharing.”
“An impressive piece of theatre - raw, honest and brave. Touching and emotive - a window into a personal world offering insight for others”.
“ I have no doubt that it will help many young people and their parents better understand the struggles associated with mental health and, I hope, advance the discussion in dispelling the stigma which is sadly still associated with it.”
“…we see a lot of amazing theatre. Well last night, we were blown away by the talent and importance of this incredible play written by my friend’s phenomenal 17 year old daughter. Tough topics we should all talk about - teenager mental health and sexual assault and more importantly, healing!”
“I thought Siyani’s play was brilliant. The play itself draws you in and the. You remember that it is based on fact… Siyani is doing a wonderful thing to bring mental health to the forefront of conversations, and in breaking down any remaining stigma around it.”
“ Thank you for sharing your story and allowing me and everyone else at your shows into your world. I only wish more people could watch it too.”
“It was very well balanced with being both emotional and humerous at times.”
“To say it was a breath of fresh air is an understatement, it was like fresh oxygen.”
