The description doesn’t change the performance for any guests, but fills in the gaps for those who require it.
BSL Interpreted – Trained British Sign
Language signers stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers at the same time as the actions are being performed.
Relaxed – Offer a range of adaptions to both the theatre environment and the production itself. These may include reduced sound levels, removal of certain special effects and allow free movement in and out of the auditorium.
Touch Tour – Touch tour events offer immersive, sensory experiences tailored for blind and visually impaired audiences. These tours provide tactile exploration of stage sets, costumes and props before a performance, enhancing accessibility and connection to the show.
MobileConnect – The MobileConnect system amplifies the performance via your mobile phone or tablet. Audience members connected to the app will hear a live feed of the on-stage performance (with audio description, if attending an Audio Described performance), wherever they are sat in the auditorium.

THE GREAT BRITISH MURDER MYSTERY
Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap
Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has captivated millions of audience members. Now, the record-breaking production embarks on its 75th anniversary tour across the UK and Ireland.
A shocking murder rattles London. Far from the chaos, a remote country guesthouse welcomes seven strangers seeking refuge. But when a police sergeant battles through a deadly snowstorm with a warning no one expects, it becomes clear the threat is already within their walls.
Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as suspicion tightens its grip, one question chills the room: Who among them is capable of murder?
Step inside the Princess Theatre, Torquay, and solve the greatest murder mystery that has kept the world guessing for generations. Ages 7+
‘The twist when it comes, packs an appreciable punch.’
– The Guardian
‘No one brews it better than Agatha Christie.’
– Daily Express
Victoria Wood’s dinnerladies
A brand new stage adaptation starring stage and TV favourite Les Dennis as maintenance man Stan, with the full cast of dinnerladies to be announced.
More than 25 years after it first aired on BBC One, Victoria Wood’s much-loved sitcom dinnerladies is heading to the stage, in the first piece of Victoria’s work to be produced by her estate.
Featuring a story inspired by the original TV series, the show brings back all the characters audiences know and love from the Manchester canteen. Originally written by and starring Victoria Wood, dinnerladies became one of Britain’s most adored comedies thanks to its sharp humour, warmth and brilliantly observed characters.
Whether you’re revisiting an old favourite or discovering it for the first time, dinnerladies serves up a hilarious night out packed with heart, nostalgia and plenty of surprises.
‘Victoria Wood’s greatest achievement is precise comic gold!’ – The Telegraph

Mirror, mirror on the wall, the perfect panto of them all!
Get ready for a truly WICKED pantomime starring Strictly Come Dancing Pro, Karen Hauer, as the Wicked Queen, along with the rough, tough, buff star of Saturday night TV, Alex Gray as Hector the Henchman!
And back by popular demand, the dynamic duo, Michael Neilson and Matthew Curnier, causing yet more panto mayhem in Torquay, as Dame Dotty and Herbie the Huntsman.
Join them, Snow White, Prince Simon and full supporting cast as we journey together through the enchanted forest on a madcap magical adventure.
Enjoy show-stopping live music, sensational song and dance routines, plenty of audience participation and of course, lots of slapstick silliness.
