DON’T STARE is a family theatre piece that addresses stereotypes, prejudice, and judgements surrounding AUTISM. The audience is taken through a collection of emotional and thrilling stories of parents, families and community members affected by the Stigma of Autism. The play advocates for awareness, support, and empathy for people with special needs, as well as promoting human rights for neurodivergent people receiving humiliating stares, and hostility from the public because they behave and see world in a different way.
