For forty years Clean Break is proud to have produced ground-breaking plays by some of Britain's best playwrights. A selection of these progressive, brilliant artists come together to share what they have learnt from working with Clean Break, what the future holds for women playwrights and why complicated, multifaceted representations of women on our stages are more essential than ever.

Over 40 years, Clean Break has commissioned some of the most progressive and brilliant women writers to write ground-breaking plays, alongside developing the writing skills of the women it works with in its London studios and in prisons. As part of the company's 40th Anniversary year, Methuen Drama publishes a collection of monologues from this canon.
