Clean Break presents ‘Women’s Voices: Stories of Survival’

Trailblazing women’s theatre company Clean Break have commissioned partnerships between members and artists to explore what collaboration looks like in a digital context. Their performance will feature 3 monologues co-created during the pandemic. Join Rachel Conlon Director of the YSJ Prison Partnership Project as she chairs a Q & A with the cast and Anna Herrmann, Joint Artistic Director of Clean Break, after the performances.

Clean Break is a women’s theatre company established by two women prisoners at HMP Askham Grange in Yorkshire. Over the past 40 years the company has proven itself to be a trailblazer in both theatre and the criminal justice system; creating bold work, innovating best practices, and creating lasting change. Clean Break is a regular collaborator with the Prison Partnership Project at York St John University.
