Audio Described Performances

Audio description is a narration of the visual elements of a live theatre performance via a small radio receiver and earpiece. Throughout the play, concise descriptions of actions, expressions and gestures are transmitted during gaps between the dialogue of the on-stage actors.

The headsets can be collected from the audio describer next to the box office at the theatre (next to the information desk for the Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House) half an hour prior to the performance. The audio description starts ten minutes before the start of the performance, providing program details together with descriptions of costumes and stage settings.

Please advise if you require audio description when booking your tickets.

Beautiful Burnout: York Theatre, Seymour Centre, Sunday 29 Jan, 2pm
