About The Show

Secret Sides of Us is an exciting new musical about disabled lives in modern Britain. 

For over a year disabled co-creators met at Nottingham Playhouse to discuss the barriers they faced and make this groundbreaking new show. 

After our successful public workshop we are exploring avenues for development and funding and we hope to have an R&D week in Summer 2026.

The Story

Serena hides her disability from her fans.
 

Theo is unseen and ignored because of his disability.
 

Tilly is relentlessly mocked because she thinks differently.

Our show tells the story of three disabled creatives who face ableism in their everyday lives. Using their creativity, and with help from a stoma wielding cabaret artist, they break down barriers and show the world just what they can do!
