Clean Break is a British theatre company founded in 1979 by two women in prison. Its mission is to tell the stories of women with experience of the criminal justice system and to transform their lives through theatre. Over the past 40 years, Clean Break has commissioned some of the most progressive and brilliant women writers to write ground-breaking plays, while also developing the writing skills of the women they work with in its London studios and in prisons. This collection of monologues from the Clean Break canon celebrates the opportunities inherent when women represent themselves. It offers female performers a diverse set of monologues reflecting a range of characters in age, ethnicity, and lived experience, drawn from a mix of published and unpublished works. This book is for any performer who does not see themselves represented in mainstream plays, for lovers of radical womens theatre, and for rebels everywhere who believe that the act of speaking and being heard can create change.
