There are three main types of 'Assisted' shows aimed at improving the theatregoing experience for audience members with visual or aural impairment.

Audio-Described Performance

Aimed at people with visual impairment. Trained describers prepare and perform a script commenting on the set, costumes, body language, facial expressions and physical movement. This information is received through a discreet headset during the pauses in the performance.

Sign Language Interpreted Performance

Aimed at people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Trained describers, usually situated to the side of the stage, interpret the script, often using British Sign Language, at the same time as it is being performed.

Captioned Performance

Aimed at people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Captions of the full or edited script are displayed on an electronic screen, usually placed level with the stage, at the same time as it is being performed.
