Ok gang , a while ago I mentioned that I wanted to write a play about mental health problems and see if I could get it up and running, with the possibility of MIND or some other charity sponsoring it.
The ideas stage has now been written, the plot is set and I'm ready to finally start writing. And that's where I need YOU! no, not you, YOU! I need your views on mental illness, on care in the community, and I need your tales of experiences with mental health problems. I want this play to ring true and to tell a story about the kinds of problems that are going on in every class and every place in this country and indeed the world!
So please post in this thread or PM me with your opinions and anecdotes. I wont use your words verbatim, or use you as a character in the play but I want to use real peoples experiences as a basis for the different themes and issues in the play.
Please please get involved, if this becomes a reality, as I believe it can, your help could mean reaching out and helping others with mental health problems.
It doesn't matter if you are a sufferer or a carer, your opinions and experiences are all valid!!!!!
