You may have also noticed, if you have already seen it, that the accessibility for blind audience members was built into the writing of the script and specifically with the inclusion of the narrator. We hope you enjoy it and we very much welcome your feedback. Please do book if you wish to see it. It will be available only until 4th January 2021. Your link to the show and password (and a link to the BSL version of the show) will be on your confirmation after purchase. Your feedback is very welcome.
