Relaxed Performances

Relaxed performances are specifically designed to welcome people with an Autistic Spectrum Condition, learning disability or sensory and communciation disorders into theatres to give those who otherwise might feel excluded the chance to experience live theatre. They have a less formal, more supportive atmosphere in order to reduce anxiety levels. An easy way to describe them is 'the opposite of the quiet carriage on the train'. There is a relaxed attitude to noise, movement and small changes to the sound levels and some lighting effects in the show.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time on Saturday 22 June at 2.30pm

Relaxed performances provide an opportunity for people who would otherwise find it difficult to come to see the show - for example people who make involuntray noise, or are likely to need to talk a lot, or move around.

For the 2.30pm performance of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time at the Apollo Theatre on Saturday 22 June, the Grand Circle and Balcony are available for general booking online.

The Stalls and Dress Circle are reserved for people for whom Relaxed Performance conditions are essential. Booking for these areas of the theatre is available exclusively by phone on 020 7452 3961.

We will provide 'visual stories' two weeks prior to the performance to help support your visit.
