We are thrilled to announce that in addition to every performance of Winter (14 - 24 Feb) being audio-described, we will also be providing a touch tour before each and every performance.
For many blind or partially sighted theatre-goers, a touch tour is an essential part of the theatre experience. It is a chance for audience members to have a sensory exploration of the stage, set, props and costumes before the performance begins. There is usually an opportunity to meet some of the actors too so you can get a sense of how their characters will sound. Find out more about what it actually involves in our blog from the Life of Galileo touch tour.
Our touch tours are free for audiences attending that show, and although priority will be given to blind or partially sighted theatre-goers, we are pleased to be welcoming up our Winter touch tours for all audience members.
If you would like to attend a pre-show touch tour, email touchtour@youngvic.org with your name, access requirements and date/time of the performance you're attending. We will reply back to confirm your place and let you know what time your touch tour will be kicking off.
Touch tour schedule:
14 - 17 Feb: 6.45pm
20 - 24 Feb: 6.15pm
21 & 24 Feb: 1.15pm
