The Hidden

Someone has gone missing but have they left messages behind?

Hidden in books, written on index cards, scribbled on the back of an old photograph; there is a mystery waiting to be solved. Set in a Library, your task is to piece the story together using all the clues you can find, just don’t get caught! Work as a team to rewrite the history books, just be careful which path you chose to go down…

The Hidden is an immersive and interactive theatre experience created by Visible Fictions for young people and families. It was first performed at Paisley Central Library (UK) in November 2017 before touring all over Scotland and England. In 2022 The Hidden had its Canadian Premier, in partnership with TIFA KIDS (Toronto International Festival of Authors) during MOTIVE Crime and Mystery Festival!

The Hidden is recommended for those aged 12 and up and school groups aged 15 and up.

"Visible Fictions have meticulously assembled an interactive site-specific experience – devised with older teenagers especially in mind – that cunningly (and usefully) encourages curiosity, disbelief and a questioning mindset.”
