We suggest age 6+, but younger guests are welcome. The show is 2 hours 40 minutes, quite loud in parts and possibly scary for some younger children at moments. Children need to occupy their own seats at all times throughout the performance. This production is not suitable for children under four years of age (including babes in arms). Younger children and babes in arms are welcome at our relaxed performances.

 Live theatre is exciting. It can be loud, bright, shocking at times, and occasionally some of the effects we use, or the themes our productions explore, can trigger distressing emotions.

We know that some of our audiences appreciate detailed information on the content of our shows in order to make informed decisions and to prepare themselves, or members of their party, including those with additional needs.
