"Clean Break is a theatre, education and new writing company. We use theatre for personal and political change, working with women whose lives have been affected by the criminal justice system. We believe passionately that engaging in theatre can create new opportunities for these women and develop their personal, social, artistic and professional skills."
Lucy Perman MBE
Executive Director, Clean Break

What Does Clean Break Do?

Clean Break runs an innovative programme of theatre performances and new writing projects, drama-based education and specialist support, professional development and training, and advocacy. We want to:

  • Challenge prejudice about women who have been on the receiving end of criminal justice.
  • Enable women who are at risk of offending to fulfil their personal goals and ambitions, and to make informed decisions about their lives.
  • Provide these women with the artistic and educational resources to make sense of their experiences and to voice the issues they consider to be important.
  • Share and pass on our best practice and expertise to other professionals working in the criminal justice system.
