HOW THIS PAGE WORKS

Below is a list of assisted performances and these are categorised by their type – relaxed, captioned, audio-described and signed.

The performances are in chronological order (the soonest performance at the top of each section).

The play titles link through to the main production pages so you can find out more about the shows themselves.

The actual dates and times link through to our booking system so you can buy tickets for that performance.

To discover more about what each assisted performance is like, visit our main Access page.

RELAXED PERFORMANCES

For each relaxed performance a visual story is available online in advance of the show or a paper version is available from the Welcome Desk.

The visual story for each show is written by the Globe’s Access team, while the sonic story is written by TourettesHero.
