Ava and Tash are up on a cliff, looking out at the flocking birds - and at their future. On the cusp of adulthood and about to leave the care home they've shared, the two friends road-test their impending freedom and living in the outside world. Ava must confront the mother she left behind. Tash will have to look for a new home. And both girls will go on living dangerously with the men who surround them. Raw, delicate and bold, Katherine Chandler's play Bird is a story of growing up outside a family but inside the fiercest of friendships. It was the winner of a Judges' Award in the 2013 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and premiered at Sherman Cymru in 2016 before transferring to the Royal Exchange, Manchester.

'Lock up your sons. And your daughters if the mood fits. Tonight we are getting destroyed.' Nate's coming to the end of his career, Yaz hasn't the means to get herself one, and Josh's injury could finish his before it's even started. Today's been a bad day - and bad days need great nights out. But when things get out of control, someone might get hurt. A fast and wild ride into the darker side of our celebrity-obsessed culture, with three people who share a single goal: to lose themselves in the night. Written as intertwining monologues, Katherine Chandler's play Lose Yourself premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in May 2019.

Clean Break is a British theatre company set up in 1979 by two women in prison. It exists to tell the stories of women with experience of the criminal justice system and to transform women's lives through theatre. 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. Rebel Voices: Monologues for Women by Women celebrates the opportunities inherent when women represent themselves. Offering female performers a diverse set of monologues reflecting a range of characters in age, ethnicity and lived experience, the material is drawn from a mix of published and unpublished works. This book is for any performer who does not see themselves represented in mainstream plays, for lovers of radical women's theatre and for rebels everywhere who believe that the act of speaking and being heard can create change.

Two women from very different worlds: Karen has built a picture-perfect life while Gail struggles to keep hers together. When Gail re-enters Karen's life from out of the blue, she brings with her everything Karen has been running from... Katherine Chandler's tense, revealing play explores what it means to care for one another and asks who, in a time of increasing disconnect, we expect to look after us. Thick As Thieves was premiered at Theatr Clwyd, Mold, in October 2018, in a co-production between Clean Break and Theatr Clwyd. Acclaimed theatre company Clean Break produces ground-breaking plays with women writers and actors at the heart of its work. Founded in 1979 by two women prisoners who needed urgently to tell their stories through theatre, the company today has an independent education programme delivering theatre opportunities to women offenders and women at risk, in custodial and community settings.

I think it's sad. A sad place. Full of sad people with fucked-up lives. And I thinks, how? How did they get there? How did they get to this? What was it? What happened that got them there? Cos you're not just born into it, are you. You're not born into being fucked up? Steph is fifteen years old. Simon is her teacher. Both live in Cardiff but their parallel lives couldn't be more different. When an accusation is made and their worlds collide, things aren't as simple as they might seem. Award-winning playwright Katherine Chandler explores truth, class and power in contemporary Wales in this gripping, uncompromising play. It received its world premiere on 20 November 2013 at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, and won the inaugural Wales Drama Award.

The last few years have seen an explosion of new Welsh writing for the stage. With the advent of Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru in 2003 and the launch of National Theatre Wales in 2009, there has been a tectonic shift in Welsh theatre and its perception. Today, there are national theatres telling Welsh stories with wit, verve and ambition in both languages, with playwrights at the heart. The explosion of quality work from Wales's national theatres has stimulated thriving fringe theatre scenes in its cities, and raised the bar for other theatres across the UK. Wales has celebrated its poets and novelists, but in the 21st century, it is the playwright who is asking the crucial questions. In particular, what does it mean to be Welsh in the 21st century? Never before has there been so many playwrights of all ages, from across Wales, finding the stage the home for their stories. This collection of contemporary Welsh plays is the first to officially recognise this 'new wave' of Welsh playwrights, ranging from established, award-winning writers to those on the cusp of national recognition.It showcases a wide range of forms, themes and political concerns, as well as representing the most exciting voices at the forefront of Welsh drama. By taking the temperature on the first golden age of Welsh playwriting, this volume is the first collection in this new Welsh canon. This volume features the following plays: The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning by Tim Price Parallel Lines by Kath Chandler Bruised by Matthew Trevannion Llwyth by Dafydd James (in Welsh) Gardening for the Unfulfilled and Alienated by Brad Birch Tonypandemonium by Rachel Trezise Includes a foreword by David Ian Rabey and Charmian Savill, an introduction by Tim Price and Kate Wasserberg, and a chronology of major events in Welsh playwriting in the 21st century.
