Clair / Obscur Theatre Description
CLAIR /OBSCUR is a new theatre collective based in the Weald of Kent. Our focus is to adapt and develop classic stories from authors and famous figures in our region. Our name derives from the term chiaroscuro, a strong self-conscious juxtaposition of light and shade which results in a stunning visual effect in a work of art.

Performance rights (amateur and professional) in A NECESSARY WOMAN by Deborah Clair and Philippa Urquhart have been released. If you are interested in applying for permission to perform please email rights@methuen.co.uk in the first instance. Please include information about your performance plans (number of performances, dates of performances, theatre capacity [number of seats] and admission prices). Thank you.
The play is now listed on Amazon, but not available to buy until after Christmas. However, copies are still available from: http://www.methuen.co.uk/ We would urge anyone who has seen, read or performed A Necessary Woman this year to write a very quick review on Amazon. This will keep the conversation going and increase the likelihood of schools finding the play and using it as a teaching text or to create their own performances. THANK YOU to all those who have supported the play in this centenary year - it has been INCREDIBLE!
