CleanBrk

Clean Break is a theatre company changing lives and minds on stage, in prisons and in the community. 

Clean Break was founded in 1979 by two women prisoners who believed in the power of theatre to change lives. Our vision is of a society where women can realise their full potential, free from criminalisation. We pursue this vision by producing ground-breaking theatre productions which puts women’s voices at its heart and creates lasting change by challenging injustice in and beyond the criminal justice system. 
 
Through theatre workshops and projects in prisons, the community, and our specialist centre in London, we help to build confidence, resilience, and wellbeing, transforming the lives of women who have experienced the criminal justice system or who are at risk of entering it. Our Members Programme offers a range of workshops and performance opportunities led by women theatre artists, underpinned by comprehensive support.
