Congrats to everyone hustling in UK theatre right now, whether your hard work is recognised by nominations or not. Making work in this landscape is complicated and brutal. Persevering and still giving your all to art deserves its own award. Thank you for your resilience ❤️

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Clean Break Theatre Company @cleanbrk.bsky.social · Apr 24

For more information about Clean Break's trans inclusion policy, please visit our website: cleanbreak.org.uk/policies

In light of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the definition of woman in the Equality Act 2010, we send our support and solidarity to trans and intersex women across the UK.

Clean Break is for all women, including trans and intersex women. We take an intersectional approach to understanding identity and know that womanhood is not a monolith. We acknowledge the specific experiences of discrimination and oppression that trans women, particularly Black trans women, face in wider society and in the sectors we work in.

Whilst the impact of this ruling remains uncertain, we want to be clear that our services and who we serve will not be changing. Trans inclusivity will continue to be upheld as we work towards a world where all women are free to realise their full potential.
