Rosie Elnile’s design places these numerous narratives on a two-storied set that resembles an abstracted, stripped-down cross-section of a house. The dominant colors of this scenography are sterile shades of blue and green, of the sort one would encounter in a depressing hospital. Jess Bernberg’s brusque lighting (aided by fluorescent lights) and Carolyn Downing’s ominously rhythmic sound design further turn this environment into a minefield of anxieties on the brink of combustion. 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 they work with in its London studios and in prisons. This is a collection of monologues from this canon. Thisdigital timeline has been made possible by the support of the National Lottery HeritageFund; Arts and Humanities ResearchCouncil; Arts Council England; and the BishopsgateInstitute, where Clean Break’s archive is now held. Shooting has started on the Hulu and BBC Three series of Normal People (Photo: Element Productions)
