Peer Productions: Hidden

A must-watch production that unpacks the intricacies of social issues with a stunning relatability

Detailing the complex lives of students on the brink of their GCSEs, three stories cross paths to weave this immensely moving production, where secrets unravel, and taboo social issues are addressed. Self-harm features heavily throughout the performance, in a delicate and eye-opening fashion that unpacks the subject carefully. I have never seen a piece of theatre or film address self-harm so well – the performance truly covers every facet of the topic with relatable and realistic questions and assumptions from supporting characters.

Originally performed in 2015, Hidden is now a professionally filmed theatrical digital production available exclusively online. Designed for year 8+, Hidden has been developed in consultation with clinicians, those who have recovered from self-harm, and leading charities in the field. The high-quality production is also supported by a comprehensive teachers’ pack and an interactive student guide.
