Kander & Ebb's musical THE RINK (book by Terrence McNally)is all about the history of a strained mother/daughter relationship.

And you must admit, the Witch/Rapunzel relationship in INTO THE WOODS is prety damned dysfunctional!

You're right about Rabbit Hole being about a boy who dies, but there is a troubled central relationship in that play between a mother and daughter (played on Broadway by Tyne Daly and Cynthia Nixon) so I think it does qualify as the kind of play the initial poster was looking for.

Only When I Laugh

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
