Inside Bitch
Working collaboratively with Deborah Pearson and Stacey Gregg, four Clean Break members, who are artists with prison experience, created Inside Bitch.
This show challenges societal perceptions by challenging the stories we tell through television, the media, and to ourselves. Inside Bitch questions what is lost when we try to tell a story.
Clean Break are a women’s Theatre Company changing lives and changing minds – on stage, in prison and in the community.
