Secret Voices was commissioned for BEAF 2019 and began with a question to a group of outsiders: If you had the opportunity to speak out and have your voice heard, what would you say?

The show told nine intercut stories by nine performers. Their texts and stories emerged in different ways: some were written, some were dictated. Some were conversations or improvisations which were then transcribed.

Extracts from Secret Voices were performed at Kneehigh’s Asylum.

“The Outsiders performances at the Kneehigh Asylum were the best things I’ve seen and heard for a decade. It has changed the way I think about the stories we tell. And that goes for every single person in the audience.” Kneehigh Theatre
