Feedback from our audience members

“With mobility problems, I was apprehensive about how accessible everything would be. I needn’t have worried, because it couldn’t have been better. It was so easy and everyone working on it couldn’t have done more to make my experience more pleasurable”

“Great to see diverse performers and enhanced access”

“Wonderful accessibility support”

“I was very much looked after in relation to access point of view”
