1 AUTUMN SUMMER - SEPTEMBER - MAY TO TO AUGUST NOVEMBER ACCESS LONDON THEATRE

2 ACCESS LONDON THEATRE Welcome to the Autumn 2017 edition of Access London Theatre, compiled and published by the Society of London Theatre. With the summer season coming to a close, don t miss your chance to see productions like Jesus Christ Superstar at Regent s Park Open Air Theatre or King Lear at Shakespeare s Globe. Moving in to Autumn, we have a huge range of productions for you to choose from; from family shows at the Unicorn Theatre, classic plays, dance productions, and award-winning musicals, there really is something for everyone. We have continued with the updated format of the last brochure, with a few tweaks. Shows are listed alphabetically, which reduces duplicate information and means you can easily find the specific show you are looking for. Take a look at the Show Index pages (4-5) to see which shows are available at a glance and skip straight to the specific page to find its listing. New to this brochure, we have now included a date index page! If you would like to find which performances are available on a specific day and to plan out your theatrical calendar for the next three months, then definitely check out pages 6 and 7. If you have any feedback on the brochure (positive or negative!), including the new format, please us on access@soltukt.co.uk. We value your feedback and it helps us to make improvements to future editions of the brochure. We hope you find this brochure useful and that you have a great few months of theatre-going. This brochure is available in print, on CD or in Braille. Please call or to request your choice of format. All text and cast listings correct at time of going to print. 2 Access London Theatre, Society of London Theatre enquiries@soltukt.co.uk OfficialLondonTheatre.co.uk/access

3 3 HOW DOES IT WORK? Audio Description allows blind or partially sighted audiences to experience theatre; it is a live verbal commentary providing information on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds. It describes action that is essential to the understanding of the story, as well as other visual information such as the style and design, sets, costumes, facial expressions and visual jokes that might otherwise be missed. The description is delivered around the dialogue of a performance and patrons listen to it through a discreet headset. Captioning is similar to subtitling and gives deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people access to theatre. At a captioned performance the words are displayed on a screen (or screens), placed near the stage or in the set and can be seen at the same time as they are spoken or sung. Speakers names, sound effects and offstage noises are also shown. A trained captioner prepares the script in advance to mirror the rhythm and flow of the performance and the captions are delivered live as the action happens on stage. Captioning is also helpful for theatregoers whose first language is not English and students who are studying the text of a play. Sign Language Interpreted Performances are a regular feature of London theatre, offering a wide variety of choices to deaf and hard of hearing theatregoers. An interpreter will stand in a clearly visible position and interpret the spoken and heard aspects of the show. Relaxed Performances are designed to provide an opportunity for people with autism spectrum conditions, learning disabilities or other sensory and communication disorders to access theatre in a relaxed environment. The performances are adapted in a number of ways to reduce anxiety and create a supportive atmosphere, including adjusting light and sound levels, providing chill-out areas and demonstrating an embracing attitude towards audience noise and movement.
