Founded in 1979 by two women in prison, Clean Break is a British theatre company dedicated to sharing the narratives of women impacted by the criminal justice system. Over the past four decades, the organization has made significant strides in transforming lives through theatre, empowering women to express their stories and experiences. This commitment to storytelling is at the heart of Rebel Voices: Monologues for Women by Women, a collection that highlights the voices of women who have often been marginalized in traditional theatre.

The collection features a variety of monologues crafted by some of the most innovative female writers, showcasing a diverse range of characters that span different ages, ethnicities, and life experiences. By commissioning both published and unpublished works, Rebel Voices: Monologues for Women by Women offers a platform for female performers to engage with material that resonates with their own identities. This book not only reflects the richness of women's experiences but also aims to inspire and empower those who perform these pieces.

Designed for performers who may feel underrepresented in mainstream theatre, this anthology serves as a powerful resource for those who appreciate radical women’s theatre. It invites rebels of all kinds to embrace the transformative power of voice, asserting that speaking out and being heard can lead to meaningful change in society.
