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!
