About this show
Unheard Voices, Unbroken Spirits is a powerful modern musical that brings the lived reality of the Scottish care system to the stage. This is not just a show; it is a collective anthem written, produced and performed by young care-experienced people. Through an emotional, contemporary score, we follow a group of friends fighting for their futures while navigating love, loss and identity. In a world that often looks away, these voices refuse to be silenced. Raw, beautiful and deeply moving, this is the vital story of a generation's unbroken spirit.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 1 published review and 22 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
The script and storyline don’t shy away from the trauma and tragedy that exist in this world, but the overwhelming feeling is one of optimism, of hope, of coming together and really being there for each other.
