Psycho Bitch: The Attack of the One Woman Show on Stigma
(for Mental Illness Awareness Week 2011)

“But I urge you to not be afraid, the title might put you off some” utters Tamara Lynn Robert in the first few minutes of Psycho Bitch. But that is precisely why she wrote this one woman show, because silence, shame and fear still surround mental illness. Robert’s play explores her own internalized stigma that led her to refusing the very treatment that would later save her life. Although it is a very serious topic, Robert speckles her story with humour and engaging story telling. More »
