Ockham’s Razor: Collaborator

Audio Described performances are designed for blind or visually impaired audience members. The actors’ dialogue is incorporated with live commentary that explains what is happening on stage. Audience members can listen to this via a headset and this doesn’t affect other audience members’ experience of the show.

Where possible, we also schedule a pre-show Touch Tour on the same day as an Audio Described performance, allowing audiences to explore the set and costumes and immerse themselves in the imaginary world of the show.

Touch Tours give blind or visually impaired audience members an opportunity to go up on stage and touch parts of the set, props and costumes to help immerse themselves in the imaginary world on stage. They can also be attended by anyone who would benefit from familiarising themselves with the auditorium and set before attending a performance.

Touch Tours usually take place 1 hour before the performance start time, but please check with the Box Office as this can vary.

To attend a Touch Tour, please contact the Box Office on 020 8369 5454 or email boxoffice@artsdepot.co.uk at least 48 hours before the touch tour.
