‘Open Clasp give
help and support in a way
no one else
does. Their work has been
very
important to many people.
I have
benefited through the workshops
by talking
about things most people
don’t
mention. The plays have also helped
me by
hearing taboo subjects discussed
openly on
stage. This gives others knowledge
and people
like me feel it is okay
to speak
the unspeakable.'
