I feel fortunate to have discovered Open Clasp’s ‘Key Change’ in Edinburgh and then brought it to New York. The company combines social conscience and incredible artistry to create unforgettable theatre. I’m proud to support their work.

This is a company that does something which is not only unique, but also entertaining and engaging, and incredibly important. They tell stories that need to be heard, and they allow their audiences to see the world through unexpected eyes.

Dame Catherine Healy

Open Clasp work tirelessly and passionately with women who do not usually have a voice and who certainly aren’t used to being heard.
