Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Clean Break is a women's theatre company based in London, focused on telling the stories of imprisoned women.
History
Clean Break was started in 1979 by prisoners at HMP Askham Grange,[1] who expanded the prison's annual Christmas show into Efemera, a two-hour show about prison life. It was later performed for a two-night run at York Arts Centre, which made its 21 cast members the first British prisoners to perform onstage outside of a prison.[2] Upon their release, founders Jenny Hicks and Jackie Holboroug formed the theatre company, Clean Break, in order to tell the stories of women in prison.[3][4]
In 1998 the company moved from its base in Camden to a refurbished building in Kentish Town.[5][6]
