Alnwick Specsavers supports inclusive theatre night for deaf and blind people
An Alnwick opticians are on a mission to make the theatre more inclusive.
Specsavers has partnered with Alnwick Playhouse to create an audio-described performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, taking place on Friday, March 20.
The opticians has supported the playhouse with a £400 sponsorship to ensure blind, partially sighted and those with hearing loss can enjoy the performance via high-tech headphones.
There will also be a 'touch tour' experience backstage to allow audience members to interact with the costumes and set ahead of the performance.
Eva Davies, Specsavers Alnwick store manager, said: “We’re delighted to be working with our neighbours at Alnwick Playhouse to put on this special performance.
“We are all about looking after our customers’ eye and ear health to ensure they can live life to the fullest.
“However, some people need a little extra help to fully immerse themselves in things like this – we’re positive this will be a brilliant night of theatre right here in our town!”
