Rebel voices : monologues for women by women : celebrating 40 years of Clean Break
2019
Books
Drawn together from over 40 years of writing from Clean Break Theatre Company, this collection features the unheard voices in the criminal justice system. This book provides an opportunity for female performers to celebrate the opportunities inherent in allowing women to represent themselves. The themes of the body of work itself are by necessity diverse, but are united by the stories of women in the justice system which bringing themes of poverty, family, love, motherhood, money, friendship, reproductive labour and freedom to the fore. Readers will encounter the trafficked woman who dreams of taking her daughter to Brighton Beach; the policewoman who cannot move past her own teenage transgressions; the rigid Nigerian mother who refuses to understand her daughter's history of addiction or the abuse it stems from.
