Access guidance
- We want as many people as possible to experience theatre at its best at the RSC. As well as having wheelchair seats for all our shows and lift access to all levels of our theatres, we keep front row seats free for people who have difficulties seeing or hearing
- We offer performances with integrated British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation where the interpreter is directed as part of the action onstage. You will see the interpreter interacting with the actors onstage and they will be in costume. When booking for a signed performance, tell the box office so that we can give you a seat where you can see the interpreter clearly or use promo code 26126 to bring up the correct seats during the booking process.
- Audio description (AD) is additional commentary that explains what’s happening on stage. The action of the play is described through a headset by trained people so that you can follow what is happening at the same time as the rest of the audience. SUPPORTING RESOURCES: Touch tours ahead of all our audio described performances so you can experience the set, costumes and props. Call 01789 331275 or email access@rsc.org.uk for details of the next touch tour. Voice notes recorded by an audio describer explaining the plot, characters and set. Notes are also available in written form.
