These performances may also suit younger audience members or those who might be visiting the theatre for the first time. We aim to make the performance as inclusive as possible.  Adjustments will be made to the show and space including:

  • A relaxed and welcoming atmosphere 
  • Adjustments to sound and lighting 
  • The freedom to move around inside the auditorium 
  • A quiet room you can visit at any point before, during or after the performance 
  • Trained staff to help
