Recognising Helen Pringle’s contribution to the field of arts and criminal justice

Clean Break is very sad to announce the death of its longstanding employee Helen Pringle, Head of Finance and Senior Producer, who passed away peacefully on 14th May following a long period of living with cancer. Helen joined Clean Break in September 2001, having had several years’ experience of working as a stage and production manager within the arts and social inclusion field. After gaining a diploma in Technical Theatre Arts at Rose Bruford College, Helen worked for several theatre companies including Trestle, Half Moon, Theatre Centre and Spare Tyre, before joining Theatre Venture as Production Manager and then as General Manager.

Lucy Perman, Executive Director of Clean Break said: “Helen was much admired and much loved, and is dearly missed by the Clean Break team and the family of women theatre artists in and around the company. She leaves a great legacy and strong memories of her passion for making theatre and for making a difference to the lives of women affected by the criminal justice system.”
