The Access Scottish Theatre pilot has now come to an end. Captioned performances below will be up to date.
Please check with venues for further accessible performances.
Audio Described Performances
Audio Described performances allow people who are blind or partially sighted to access live performance. Often an audio described performance is preceded by a touch tour of set or costume items. An audio describer meets audience members before they take their seats to introduce the set and characters by providing verbal description. This verbal description then continues through a headset during the performance. For further information or advice please contact the Access Project.
Captioned Performances
FST co-ordinates captioned performances in Scotland by providing captioning equipment to venues and touring companies. Captioning is similar to television subtitling and gives Deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people access to live performances. For further information about captioning, booking equipment and hiring a Captioner please contact the Access Project.
