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.
