Captioned performances
Captioned performances are for people who are D/deaf, deafened and hard of hearing.
They are similar to subtitled television. The captions are prepared in advance, then a Stagetext captioner cues them live so that the text runs at the same speed as the actors on stage. Audience members who are using the captioning facilities are seated in an area so that the performance and caption unit are in their complete field of vision.

Next to Normal – West End Saturday 7 September, 2.30pm
