You are welcome to wait in the Cafe Bar in the centre before the show begins.

Sensory advisory: There is recorded music and live singing. There are some sudden movements, loud exclamations, and a chase scene.
An easy read guide for the show is available. Please email info@gregson.co.uk for a copy.
Audience participation is part of the show. Every audience member is given a lanyard, showing ‘their’ species: they then represent that species throughout the show. The performers might informally talk to them before the show begins, or mention their species during the show. There is a discussion section when, in small groups, the audience think about how humans could be better neighbours to ‘their’ species. These group conversations are carefully and inclusively facilitated by the actors. There is the chance for the audience (from their seats) to join in with the final song. No one is picked out, picked on, or pressured into doing or saying anything that they don’t feel comfortable with.
Make a day of it. Grab a bite to eat in our award winning Cafe Bar before the show. Please note the bar in the performance space won’t be open but you are welcome to take drinks from the upstairs with you.
