The Unseen - West End History , Info & More

This harrowing new production of The Unseen by Craig Wright (Six Feet Under, Lost, Dirty Sexy Money) will premiere at Riverside Studios for a strictly limited season in 2024.



In a brutal totalitarian regime, two strangers are imprisoned for reasons unknown. Wallace and Valdez communicate only through their cell walls, navigating waves of hope and disillusionment whilst seeking an escape route.



Finding solace in one another they create their own philosophies in an attempt to assign meaning to their state of confinement. Meanwhile, their torturer finds himself torn between his duty and his own self-revulsion, and plans a showdown that will change everything.



Craig Wright's The Unseen exposes the isolation, guilt, and dehumanising effects of totalitarian repression in a thought-provoking drama reminiscent of Waiting For Godot.
