ACCESS PERFORMANCES

Where possible, we offer access performances with selected productions.

Audio Described performances

Ideal for blind and partially-sighted people, audio description is a form of audio-visual translation, using the natural pauses in dialogue or between critical sound elements to insert narrative that translates the visual image into a sense form.

Captioned performances

Similar to TV subtitles, words appear on screen at the side of the stage at the same time as they are spoken - ideal for those who are deaf, hard of hearing or if you'd just like to read along.

Open to everyone. Audience members can move around freely, leave and enter the auditorium as needed, the lights will stay on low and sound effects are softened. Created for any audiences who are less comfortable with any elements of the usual theatre experience.
