COLUMBIA, S.C. - Aug. 22, 2018 - PRLog -- Playwrights Danny L & Dee Dee M. Scott shines a light on mental illness and mental health in their upcoming stage play, My Husband's Woman. Playing at USC Sumter Nettles Auditorium 200 Miller Rd., Sumter, South Carolina 2915 on Saturday, November 17^th, 2018. My Husband's Woman shares the tale of lead character, Alexandra, and her ups and downs dealing with mental illness which, when left untreated, lead to a devastating conclusion. The Scott's, South Carolina natives, have been writing stage plays and films collaboratively since 2009.

"My Husband's Woman," based off the Amazon best-selling book of the same name, is about Alexandra and Byron, a married couple who appear to have a perfect union. However, Byron is hiding a horrific secret from his wife, that when discovered, pushes her over the edge.

The production earned the Scott's, The Golden Pen Playwright Award and has toured the Town Theatre in Columbia, Francis Marion University, the Columbia Museum of Art and recently Tapps Arts Center to a sold-out crowd with standing ovation at the end.

The Scott's credit Jehovah God and the fact that they write from both male and female perspectives as the reasons their past productions have resonated with theatergoers.

"We wanted to shine the light on mental illness," Dee Dee said. "We used our art with talent to not only entertain, but show what can happen if mental illness is left untreated."

"Mental health is just as important as physical health." Danny said. "We wanted to address the mental health stigma and get people to thinking.  Mental health is an issue in the African American Community that is sometimes swept under the rug. But it is real, and if left untreated, can be tragic.
