Accessible Theatre

[BertieBear]

Just in case anyone's interested, Taking Flight Theatre are starting A Midsummer Night's Dream tour. I saw them a few years ago and they're wonderful. They have a mixed disabled and non-disabled cast, all performances are supported with BSL/SSE. Audio Description and Touch Tours for the visually impaired are also available.

A few years ago we saw them do an open air production of Romeo & Juliet and I can honestly say it was the best production I've seen. They were really engaging and, for once, taking Grace to the theatre didn't feel like people were continually making 'exceptions' for us and making a big deal of the fact that Grace was using a wheelchair. They just understood and actually 'got it', without fuss but with real inclusion.
Dates and times are here if anyone wants to check it out.

I'd highly recommend it (and no, I'm not on commission I just know a good things when I see it!).
