The auditorium lights will be kept low throughout the show and any loud noises on stage will be softened.
Audience members may leave or re-join the performance at any time and staff will be on hand to help out.
A visual story can be downloaded in advance (see below) to explain what to expect from the performance and how to find your way around the theatre.
There will be a chill-out area set aside for those who need time out from the performance.
