About

Over 10% of the worldwide population lives with a mental disorder. That number is higher amongst artists – in particular, writers. Theatre of Mental Illness (TMI) develops plays with themes of mental disorder, championing playwrights whose work honestly deals with extreme mind states.

Every month in rotating venues, TMI hosts private play reading workshops. Since plays about mental illness are potentially controversial, no more than 13 artists can be present in the room during the development of texts – giving writers total control over their material.

The Artistic Director and Founder of TMI is playwright Tommy Smith – who himself lives with Major Depressive Disorder. Any donations made above fund our very simple needs: A room, tables, chairs, artists & a door that locks. Thanks for reading.
