RELAXED PERFORMANCE – SNOW WHITE
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, a perfect panto for one and quite literally all… This relaxed performance is a production which loses none of the pantomime delight, it’s presented in an inclusive and accessible way, the house lights will remain on, the sound levels will be reduced, there will be no pyrotechnics used and lighting effects will be suitably adjusted. There will be no loud noises and no requirement from the audience to sit still or stay quiet, those customers who need to move around the auditorium can do so without any restrictions.
