Story Synopsis

Sensory Synopsis

A sensory synopsis is intended to help those with sensory and communication requirements prepare for the experience of attending a performance. Our aim is to warn you of any moments with loud noises, flashes of light, sudden or surprising movements or heightened emotion.

If you would like to talk to us about your access requirements, please contact our Box Office at 020 7565 5000 or boxoffice@royalcourttheatre.com. The Royal Court Visual Story is available on our website. Story and Sensory synopses are available on the show pages via the Whats On tab of the website shortly after Press Night. 

Covid-safe Touch Tours will be available at the theatre for some productions. Please contact info@royalcourttheatre.com to request details or to speak to a member of the Theatre Management team.

**Relaxed performances offer patrons a more relaxed environment in which to enjoy a production, which includes distancing between patrons when sat in the auditorium if requested.
