Charged (NHB Modern Plays): Six plays about women, crime and justice

The heartbreaking truth about the lives of women in the criminal justice system is exposed in these six plays by some of the most exciting and distinctive female voices in British theatre. Commissioned and premiered by Clean Break, a theatre and education company working with women whose lives have been affected by the criminal justice system.

The collection includes: Fatal Light by Chloë Moss Taken by Winsome Pinnock Dream Pill by Rebecca Prichard Doris Day by E V Crowe Dancing Bears by Sam Holcroft That Almost Unnameable Lust by Rebecca Lenkiewicz 'a gripping vitality... It's striking how the overall tone is not stridently feminist, but quiet and matter-of-fact. Charged feels more urgent for it.' - Guardian 'unlocks the drama – and the pity – of tough justice.' - Time Out
