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 have been awarded ACE Funding and will have an R&D week in August 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!
