Relaxed Performance: A Christmas Carol @ Old Vic, London

Relaxed performances are specially adapted performances for those who benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere whilst in the theatre. They provide a supportive environment which allows for noise and movement in the auditorium and allows re-entry if audience members need time out during the performance. There will be ambient lighting in the auditorium throughout the show.

Please note: this page will be updated with further information on each relaxed performance closer to the show date, so please check back here for updates or contact access@oldvictheatre.com to find out more about what to expect. Ahead of you coming to the show you will be emailed a visual story which will include information to prepare you for your visit, including details on the story, characters and ways to navigate around the Old Vic building.
