VIEWING TIPS
If you are watching the show on a mobile device in landscape mode it may have automatically zoomed the screen in. You may need to zoom back out in order to see the full screen.
We recommend switching on your ‘Do Not Disturb’ function if you’re watching on a mobile device to ensure that you are not disturbed by notifications from other apps or messages during the show.
We also recommend asking anyone else in your household not to download or stream anything for the duration of the show, in order to maximise the strength of your WiFi signal.

Are the online events accessible?
Where possible we will try and make any online events accessible.
Romeo & Juliet (On Demand)
The on demand recording will have auto-captions** available between 27 July - 7 Aug.
All events will have an audio introduction recording. This will be available closer to the show date and can be found below and on the event webpages. An audio intro provides information about the visual elements of a show, which can be listened to ahead of time and can be useful for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Romeo & Juliet Audio Introduction Notes - CLICK HERE.
*Closed Captions (CC) - Captions are similar to TV subtitles and convert spoken word into text. These can be turned on or off once the show has started and provide 99% accuracy.
**Auto-captions - Auto-captions are the same as closed captions but are automatically generated in Youtube and provide an average of 70% accuracy, depending on accents, dialect and clarity of speech.
