Clean

CleanLeslie Black Photography

Zainab, Chloe & Katya London's best 'clean' criminals, perpetrators of victimless crime are forced together in an unlikely trio. This feisty trio soon become the unlikely action heroes of an adventure left to men.


The critical consensus

It is good to see a fresh take on the James Bond/ Scorsese paradigm, where the women are merely matriarchs or arm candy- despite the dubious 'crime as glamorous and fun' motif. It's 'well dench'. Innit.

Lorna Irvine, Across the Arts, 13/03/2013

Clean emerges as a fine, dense, thought-provoking piece of writing, beautifully performed by Nadia Clifford, Joanna Kaczynska, and Samantha Pearl.

If this was a video game, I’d play it. But no way will I be getting on the wrong side of these three.

It might well work better on film (or even between the covers of a graphic novel), but even Mahfouz’s luxuriant language and the combined talents of the cast, whose characters might well persuade this reviewer to part with a wedge of his hard-earned, still left him feeling more could have been made of the dichotomies and contradictions for women engaging with male-dominated structures, whether criminal or computer-generated, and of the question whether any crime can truly be called ‘clean’.
