Access performances

We currently offer Captioned, Audio Described and Relaxed performances. Please see below for the current performance schedule and availability. Please note all performances are Parts One and Two on the same day (matinee and evening).

Captioned

Caption units are 1650mm width, 335mm height, 51mm depth
3 lines of text is displayed

Captioning

We work with Stagetext to provide captions for our Captioned Performances. Stagetext is a registered charity which provides captioning and live subtitling services to theatres and other arts venues to make their activities accessible to people who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing.

Audio Description

We work closely with the VocalEyes team to bring the best Audio Description experience to our blind and partially sighted audience members. Patrons are provided with advanced introductory notes in audio and then invited to join a ‘Touch Tour’ of the set prior to the performance to familiarise themselves with key visual aspects from the production ahead of the live performance. Audio-description is delivered by VocalEyes describers through our Williams Sound system.

Relaxed

This adapted performance doesn’t take away any of the magic of the original performance, but small adaptations, particularly to the theatre experience – from security to merchandise and seating, and quiet areas – mean this performance will be perfect for autistic people who may be unable to cope with regular showings.

At all performances a selection of seats are available for autistic patrons or special needs that might require them to leave the auditorium at any point during the performances. There is also a quieter area where patrons can watch the performance via a screen in a more relaxed environment if required.

For all access bookings, please call 0330 333 4815
(please note, there are no general ticket sales on this number)

or email CursedChildAccess@nimaxtheatres.com, which are also contact details for patrons with physical access needs.
