I dont know if that helps, its not a website with play scripts but its got some plays on it

I once did a play about ruth ellis and her life, but it was wrote by a friend of our school, her story includes all of those aspects.

Answer 2

if you want to do a serious play try a streetcar named desire or death of a salesman

Answer 3

what kind of a sick person are you?

Answer 4

Try HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE by Paula Vogel. It's a play about an uncle who molests his niece and the repercussions of that. It's a very well-written contemporary play.

You could also look at BLUES by Jerome McDonough. It was written in the 80s (I think) and deals with homelessness and immigration issues.

Also check out Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. He wrote  THE PILLOWMAN and a bunch of other plays that deal with murder and violence.

Answer 5

And Then There Were None & Sweeney Todd (Murder)

The Color Purple-not sure if there is a script available yet (Wife Beating/Women Beating, Child Abuse, Rape)
