Broken

By Aaron Braxton

BROKEN, a powerful two-act play, delves into the heart of mental illness stigma within a typical African American family.

Follow the gripping journey of Cynthia, a woman grappling with personal demons, rejecting psychological help, battling drug and alcohol addiction, and experiencing intense visual and auditory hallucinations over the accidental death of her 17-year-old son.

This award-winning play peels back the layers of a family dealing with severe mental health trauma, unraveling the complexities of grief, pathological guilt, and addiction stemming from PTSD. BROKEN is a thought-provoking exploration of what happens when families struggle to provide the support needed to heal in the face of severe challenges.

Witness the raw, unfiltered portrayal of trauma and its impact on African American families. Infused with humor, BROKEN is a window into a world where silence often reigns, but where understanding and empathy can break through.

It's time to confront the stigma, elevate awareness, and foster compassion for those battling mental health challenges. BROKEN is a transformative journey into the soul and moving testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
