Touch

Pictures for the People partnered with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) to produce a series of accessibility films highlighting the support available for audiences with different access requirements. This film focuses on the RSC’s Touch services, explaining how audio description, touch tours, accessible seating, and assistance dog support enable blind and partially sighted visitors to experience live theatre with confidence. Through clear demonstrations and audience testimony, the video helps make theatre more welcoming and inclusive for everyone. Explore more projects in theatre video production here.

Making Theatre More Accessible for Blind and Partially Sighted Audiences

The film introduces the RSC’s range of services designed to improve the theatre experience for blind and partially sighted patrons, including live audio description, pre-show touch tours, and practical accessibility support. By combining guidance from front-of-house staff with first-hand audience experiences, the video demonstrates how these services help visitors engage more fully with performances and feel confident attending the theatre. The result is an informative and reassuring resource that supports the RSC’s commitment to making world-class theatre accessible to all.
