RNIB can offer advice and information on all aspects of watching and enjoying theatre for blind and partially sighted people. If you have difficulty following the plot or story line of a TV programme, 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 pages offer advice on audio description and what's on in your area.
