Audio description in a theatre is a live verbal commentary providing information on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds. Describing the physical elements of the play which is delivered in-between the dialogue of a performance and is picked up by the audience member wearing a special lightweight headset which is easy to use.
“It makes such a difference to me actually being able to follow the plot and have the visual aspects of the play highlighted; so much more enjoyable for me, and I do not need to ask questions of my girlfriend so we can just relax and enjoy. Thank you so much for providing such a brilliant and inclusive service.” - Blind/Partially Sighted Audio Description User.
