Audio Description
Audio description is a live verbal commentary on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds. The description is delivered between the dialogue of a performance and anyone can listen to it via a headset. Due to Covid considerations, Audio-Described Performances don’t currently include pre-show touch tours.
Watch Audio Describer Harriet Godfrey talk about her role, what audiences can expect and why audio description is important.
Captioned Performance
All dialogue is displayed as text on screens on or near the stage.
Sign Language Interpreted Performance
An interpreter on stage interprets the dialogue using British Sign Language. Seats with the best view of the signer are reserved for anyone using this service.
Relaxed Performance
A more inclusive performance in which it is completely fine for audience members to make noise, move around and come in and out of the theatre if they wish.
Socially-Distanced Performance
A socially-distanced performance ensures bubbled seating, with a minimum distance of 1m between booking parties, for vulnerable people who would benefit from these measures.
Hearing System
Our Box Office and auditorium have an accessible hearing system, which transmits audio to hearing aids or specially provided headphones (which can be collected from the Box Office). The system can also be accessed via the Sennheiser MobileConnect app, which is available on both iOS and Android devices.
