A sensory-reduced performance is a specially adapted version of the show designed to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for individuals with sensory sensitivities. Performances typically feature adjustments like lower sound levels, softer lighting, reduced audience size, and a relaxed atmosphere where movement and vocalisations are accepted. The aim is to make theatre and live performance more inclusive and accessible to those who find traditional performances difficult or overwhelming.

This performance will have reduced flashing lights, reduced sound levels and the house lights will be kept on at a low level throughout. The audience capacity will be smaller, allowing for more space and freedom to move where necessary. Audience members will also be welcome to leave the space as they wish, and listen to the show in one of our quiet spaces. Our front-of-house spaces will feature gentle lighting, and soft, low-volume background music. 

We welcome all audience members to bring any devices, tools or gadgets that help them feel comfortable, and rest assured, you will not be asked to turn them off.

There will be no changes to the script, the cast or the quality of the performance. 

A signed performance includes a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter, making it more accessible for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing audience members. The interpreter is positioned on or near the stage, translating the spoken dialogue and sound effects into BSL in real time. This ensures that BSL users can fully engage with and enjoy the performance. 

This performance features a BSL interpreter positioned on the right-hand side of the stage on a small platform.

There will be no adaptations to the script, cast or quality of the performance. 

We have reserved seating with optimal sightlines to both the interpreter and the full stage to ensure the best possible experience.

A captioned performance provides real-time on-screen text of all spoken dialogue, sound effects, and other audio elements during a live show. It's designed to support deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing audience members, ensuring full access to the performance.

This performance will feature two screens positioned on either side of the stage, displaying the spoken dialogue in real time. To ensure clear visibility of the captions, we’ve reserved seating in the central section of the auditorium. If you would like to book one of these seats and are not currently a member of our Access Scheme, please get in touch with the Box Office. Please note, there will be no changes to the cast, script, or overall quality of the performance.
