If you have difficulty following the plot or story line of a production, you may find that audio description is a service that can assist you.


Theatre audio description

Audio Description (AD) is a free and existing service that can transform the enjoyment of performances for people who have difficulty seeing what's happening on the stage.

Like a narrator telling a story, an additional commentary describes body language, expressions and movements, making the story clear through sound.


Our theatre audio description pages offer advice on audio description and what's on in your area.
