Relaxed Performance
Relaxed performances are designed for families and children with additional needs.
They are designed to provide an opportunity for people with sensory and communication needs who require a more relaxed environment.
There may be small changes to the show such as to the lighting and sound.
We produce visual guides to help audience members know what to expect from the performances, which are available on request.

“My son is seven and has autism and ADHD. He’s a huge Julia Donaldson fan. The relaxed Tall Stories performances have provided him with a perfect introduction to the theatre. Knowing that we won’t be “shushed” if my son stims or that we can leave our seats if he needs a movement break means my son can truly enjoy the theatrical experience. It also lessens the pressure on me. During relaxed performances I don’t feel judged if my son becomes dysregulated as I am surrounded by other families who ‘get it’.”
