Trigger Information

We want you to have the best experience at Sheffield Theatres, and we endeavour to give you the most complete information we can about the shows we are staging. This is not about ‘spoilers’ but about supporting audience members who would benefit from additional information about the show and would like to understand any trigger warnings.

As well as receiving many incredible tours, Sheffield Theatres is a producing theatre. This means that for Sheffield Theatres productions everything is made by us.

We will update information about the themes and the known potential triggers that are in the production as early as possible in the planning and creative process. We will finalise and update all the technical elements of the production, including lighting and sound effects during the final technical rehearsals and after Opening Night, so please do come back to this page to check in advance of your visit.

Please see below current show information. If you have any concerns please call Box Office on 0114 249 6000 or email access@sheffieldtheatres.co.uk
