Overview

This visit was to see the UNTITLED F*CK M*SS S**GON PLAY. It was a pretty stressful experience, the capacity of the theatre is deceptively large but the front of house areas aren't really big enough to accommodate that many people.

Transport & Parking

Parking is rather tricky, although there is some street parking in the vicinity.

Access

3

There is step free access to the stalls. The foyer before the show was incredibly crowded and loud, with very little organisation and I found this extremely overwhelming. Front of house staff were shouting instructions to try and be heard, which was uncomfortable. There was a large sign stating no readmittance so I clarified if this would apply if someone needed to step out for access reasons. I was told that I could re-enter but not to my original seat. I explained that this was not going to work because then I would not be in a seat that met my access needs, and I would be separated from my carer. The staff tried to call their manager and we waited at the side for a while when I got really overwhelmed being in the foyer and said I needed to go to my seat. I gave them my seat number and was told someone would come and talk to me but I never heard anything further. Luckily I did not need to leave mid show and did not have to find out what would happen.

Toilets

2

There was only one accessible bathroom and there was a large queue for it before, at the interval, and after the show.

Staff

2.5

The theatre was really badly organised and a rather overwhelming place to be, the staff added to this by failing to provide any from of crowd control, and shouting to be heard over the noise. I tried to ask some important questions and got passed from staff member to staff member, until the show was starting and I never got the answers I needed.
