BSL Interpreted and Captioned Performances
We provide accessible performances for all Main Stage Nottingham Playhouse Company Productions.
British Sign Language Interpreted Performances
These performances are provided for those whom British Sign Language is their first language. The interpreter usually stands slightly in front of the stage, lit by a single spotlight and faces the front.
Captioned Performances
These performances are beneficial for those who are Deaf, hard of hearing or deafened. Captioning converts the actors’ speech into text and is presented on screens at either side of the stage. The text scrolls at the same pace as the actors speak, making it easy to follow.
Enhanced Hearing Headsets
We have Sennheiser Infrared Enhanced Hearing headsets available for those with hearing loss. We have two types of separate headsets; one that works with hearing aids and one that works without:
Hearing Headset One
The neck loop is worn like a necklace, which creates an induction loop for hearing aid users with the “T” position. When wearing the loop, patrons are able to hear the sound in the performance via their hearing aids. Volume can be adjusted using the dial at the front.

Hearing Headset Two
This headset is for patrons without hearing aids and is worn to amplify all the sound in the auditorium. Volume can be adjusted using the dial at the front. On specific Audio Described performances, a live verbal commentary providing an explanation of the visual information can also be heard through the headset.
