How nice to see, that more is being done to make it easier for people with all types of disabilities to be able to visit theatres in and around London.

Access London Theatre has been “set up” to make a visit to the theatre much more accessible.

Newer venues tend to have good access for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility while improvements at some older venues are restricted by the conditions of their status as listed buildings.

You can now go to many theatres and see performances Audio Described, Captioned and Sign language Interpreted as well as having many other accessible facilities.

Access London Theatre is run from The Society of London Theatre, which was founded in 1908 and is the trade association that represents the producers, theatre owners and managers of the major commercial and grant-aided theatres in central London.

The Access London Theatre brochure is free and printed 3 times a year. It lists all 350 audio described, captioned and sign language interpreted performances, ranging across children’s theatre, drama, musicals and opera. It is an invaluable tool for anyone who finds it hard to see or hear everything that is taking place on stage.

To receive your free copy and to be added to their regular mailing list, please call 020 7557 6751 or e-mail access@solttma.co.uk. The brochure is available in a range of accessible formats.

You can sign up for the Access London Theatre monthly e-bulletin and other e-bulletins from the Society by registering your details at http://www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk/login?op=newUser"

Please note that Theatre Tokens has its own number of 0870 164 8800 and that audio-description and sign language is available at many local theatres throughout the UK
