Accessible Performances
BSL Performance
The performance will be BSL interpreted on Sunday 20th December at 5pm
Relaxed Performance
There will be a relaxed performance on Saturday 12th December at 1.30pm
At a relaxed performance the audience can move around, make noise, enter and leave the theatre at any time.
There will be a chillout space on the ground floor for anyone who needs a quiet space away from the foyer areas or the performance.
Each actor will come onto the stage to introduce themselves and their character.
The theatre won't be completely dark, and loud noises as part of the performance will be reduced. If the theatre does need to go dark for a special effect, the actors will let the audience know in advance.
Ear defenders are available to borrow from the box office for anyone who needs them.
Some of the special effects normally used in the show won't be used during the relaxed performance.
Please contact boxoffice@contactmcr.com if you have any other questions.
