# What is a relaxed performance?

A relaxed performance is a show that’s been adapted to suit people who might require a more relaxed environment when going to the theatre.

Usually, these are adults or children with learning difficulties, autism, or sensory communication disorders.

Individuals with conditions like these may find standard theatre performances to be overwhelming or unpleasant. This can be attributed to triggers such as darkness, loud music, sudden noises, and an unfamiliar environment where one is expected to remain still and quiet for an extended period.

For some events, some technical changes may have been made to the performance – this can include quieter music, reducing loud or surprising sound effects and avoiding strobe lighting.

As a ticketing agent, we do not sell tickets for relaxed performances. However, these tickets can be purchased directly through the venue.
