  • Book tickets now for Clean Break's new production RE-CHARGED at Soho Theatre, 23 March to 09 April 2011. Following the critically acclaimed 2010 run of Charged, Clean Break returns to Soho Theatre this spring with RE-CHARGED, bringing back three plays by Sam Holcroft (Pink, Women Power and Politics season, Tricycle Theatre), Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Her Naked Skin, National Theatre) and Chloë Moss (winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for This Wide Night, Soho Theatre) on Soho Theatre's main stage. Girl gangs and life on the edge, older women trapped in the system, and deaths in custody are some of the themes uncovered by Charged through this series of engaging, provocative, moving and funny plays. Make sure to visit our mini-site for the production www.charged.org.uk to book your tickets, and to view video, photos, and comments from the creative team!
