Audio description is the means whereby blind or partially sighted audiences can experience theatre. It is a live verbal commentary providing information on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds. It describes action that is essential to the understanding of the story, as well as other visual information such as the style and design, sets, costumes, facial expressions, and visual jokes that might otherwise be missed. The description is delivered around the dialogue of a performance and patrons listen to it through a headset.

Audio described performances and pre-performance touch tours of costumes and set are available for certain performances. Details are on the relevant show page. Please request a touch tour when booking tickets. We can provide Braille or large print cast lists on request. And, of course, guide dogs are welcome.
