How do I know I’ll have a good view of the Captions/BSL Interpreter?

When we have shows with captions and BSL interpreters, once we know where they will be positioned we’ll show this on the seating plan so you can see it when you’re making a booking.

We also hold some seats back that have good views of these positions so if it’s a fast selling show you won’t miss out. You can find out how to access these seats on our Access Tickets & Free Companions page.

I need to know if something will happen in the show like strobing or particular topics being discussed, what should I do

When we know in advance that strobing will happen during the show, we’ll display this on the event page. If you’ve selected ‘I need to know about strobe lighting/fog/gunshot’ and we find this out after you’ve made your booking, we’ll do our best to get in touch with you ahead of the show.

We never want to give away spoilers to events, but we know that it can be helpful to know what to expect in a show to make sure there’s nothing too surprising or distressing. Where this is known in advance, we’ll post it on the page of the event, but if you have any particular concerns please contact our Box Office team at tickets@woolwich.works.
