Welcome to Scene and Sound, a website which aims to make the theatre more available to Deaf, deafened, hard of hearing, Blind and partially sighted people.

Scene and Sound provides information about special performances, or assisted performances, at theatres in the East Midlands and, we hope, beyond. We have invited theatres to put information about these performances on our site to help you decide which shows you may want to visit.

The Scene and Sound website is special. Not only can visitors enlarge the text, choose backgrounds which may be helpful or use screen readers to understand it but we have also translated some of the site into British Sign Language (BSL). Ilan Dwek is our British Sign Language presenter. The next step is to add sound.

The website is very simple to use.

The Listings section tells you about the shows which are arranged in date order.

The Theatres page gives you information about each theatre and how to contact them to make a booking.

We have also explained about the various types of assisted performances in our Access Guide.

The News section has all sorts of up-to-date, useful information about theatre trips and integrated shows.

If you want to watch the British Sign Language clips, just click in the centre of the little black screen on the right hand side.

We would like you to give us your feedback on the website.
Do tell us what you would like to see and how we can improve it. To do this, use the Contact Us page.
We will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

We hope that you find the website useful and enjoy using it.
We are grateful for the support of UnLtd Millennium Awards for their faith in us. They gave us the funding to start the website. We are also extremely grateful to the Arts Council England and Nottingham Playhouse for giving us the funding to finish it off. Thanks too to all the volunteers who have given us their expertise and time to administer the website.
