Book Description
Last night I tried not to be shy, just as an experiment for one night - and with catastrophic results. 17 year old Callum is proud to be shy and he thinks you should be too, because what this noisy, crazy world needs right now is a bit more self-restraint. The Shy Manifesto is a bittersweet coming-of-age comedy drama about a shy boy who is fed up of constantly being told to come out of his shell. Tonight he is to address an audience of radical shy comrades and incite the meek to finally rise up and inherit the earth. But memories of the previous night's drunken escapades at a classmate's end-of-term party keep intruding, and threaten to upend the fragile identity he has created for himself. Callum delivers his manifesto, exploring adolescence, isolation, self-loathing and sexuality. His irreverent lightness of touch, and multi- rolling as the other characters in his story endear him to the audience, encouraging us that we, too, can be proud to be shy. The Shy Manifesto is a solo piece that takes the experience of being shy as its central subject- something which has rarely been explored in drama, and yet which touches on many audience members lives.

Pages : 63
Book Description
I remember when I was mad at the world. I used to say life is not fair, nothing goes my way. I used to blame others and complain about how bad things were. I got tired of feeling like a victim, I began researching how to empower myself. This was a new energy, personal power can be an exhilarating experience. It was time to take off my mask and stop pretending that I was this victim. Becoming self aware helped me see the real enemy, which are within. The inner me is the enemy I have the power to take action without fear of failing? We can use our will to overcome any obstacle or situation. First I had to look in the mirror because I was also the cause of my many negative experiences. I was holding myself back not the world. It was easier to point the finger because doing so helped me feel like a helpless innocent person who was a victim of negative people.
