Audio Description is a vital aid for anyone watching television, film, theatre or sports, where their vision is restricted.
Audio Description is an additional narrative that fits between dialogue, describing all significant aspects of what is contained visually. It describes who, where, what, when and why (if appropriate). Actions, facial expressions, clothing, scenery - anything important to conveying the plot of the story.
In a theatre the action is actually described live so as to fit it with what is happening on stage.
