We run regular performances with integrated British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation, and also provide supporting BSL videos for many of our shows.
Performances with integrated British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation involve the interpreter being part of the action onstage. You will see the interpreter interacting with the actors onstage and they will be in costume.
When booking for a signed performance, tell the box office so that we can give you a seat where you can see the signer clearly or use promo code 10408 to bring up the correct seats during the booking process.
We also produce BSL synopsis videos for many of our shows. You can watch videos below for some of our productions, including The Winter's Tale, Romeo and Juliet and King John. You can see all of our BSL videos on our YouTube channel.
