Audio Described Performances

Audio Described performance's allows 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.
