About The Unseen

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.

Exploring the themes of isolation, guilt, and dehumanising effects of totalitarian repression. The Unseen is a thought-provoking drama reminiscent of Waiting For Godot.
