Can anyone help me? I dont know if any of you have come across anything on your theatre going travels, but I am starting a research project soon and I want to explore how mental health is addressed by American playwrights. So far, I can only find very few plays which actually do address this issue but there must be some out there that I dont know about!

Any suggestions? No boundaries, just has to be American!

So far I have:

sweetest swing in baseball
night mother
anything by tennessee williams !

i would be eternally grateful!!!
