'Unveiled’ by Max Whelan
6 March 2026
Soul is desperate. Trapped in a body that won’t cooperate; that wants to, but can’t listen, Soul feels lost, alone and misunderstood. Knowing the only way to be heard is for them to work together, Soul issues a desperate plea to Body.
Based on his own experiences as a non-speaker, Max Whelan’s brilliant, searing debut play brims with humour and heart. Unveiled is unapologetically political, challenging assumptions and demanding a new approach to communication and education.
Event followed by a panel discussion.
