Open to everyone and designed for people who will benefit from a more relaxed theatre environment including people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, sensory or communication disorders, a learning disability, those with age-related impairments and parents/carers with babies or young children.

What changes are made to a Relaxed Performance?

• We make slight changes to the sound, lowering the volume and reducing any loud effects.
• We slow down any flashing/strobe lighting effects.
• The lights will always be on at a low level in the auditorium.
• The show will have a slightly extended interval (break in the middle of the show), to allow for toilet visits.
• For anyone who needs to leave the show, we have a small, quiet chill-out area just outside the auditorium. You can return to the show when you are ready. It is fine if you need to leave and return several times.
• We do not sell every seat so you can move around freely.
• Most importantly we ask everyone to be tolerant and accepting of the fact that some people may express enjoyment of the show in different ways; the attitude to noise, singing along to the show, and movement is relaxed, we ask anyone in our audience to be supportive of this.
