Visual Story An Oak Tree

I am going to see An Oak Tree at The Lyceum Theatre Studio.

30B Grindlay Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9AX.

The show will start at half past eight.

I should arrive a little earlier than this.

This is the outside of The Lyceum Studio where I will see the show.

I might have to join a queue outside before The Lyceum Studio is open.

Across the road is the café called Stage Right.

This will be open if I want to buy a snack or a drink before the show.

I can also bring my own snacks and drinks if I want to.

This is the entrance to the Lyceum Studio.

I will enter from the Street and go up 27 steps. There is also a lift if I need it.

It might be loud and busy in this corridor with audience members arriving.

This is the inside of The Lyceum Studio where I will see the show.

It might be quite noisy with other audience members.

I may have to stand to let people get past their seat.

This means people may have to stand or walk close to me.

At half past eight the show will start. I should be in my seat.

The running time of the show is about an hour and 20 minutes. It might be longer or shorter, because this show changes every night.

There will not be a break in the show, which is called an interval.

I can leave the Studio any time.

This is the Creative Learning Room, where I can chill out and rest.

It will be quiet in this room.

This is Tim. He is the writer and performer. Tim will say hello before the show begins.

Tim will be playing a different character in the play, pretending to be someone he is not.

There will be a second person onstage – this person will be chosen from the audience to come on stage. This person has been chosen already and is kept secret from the audience.

I will not be asked to go onstage at any point.

When the show begins, the lights will dim but it will not get dark.

I am welcome to make noise.

Tim plays the role of a hypnotist in the play. He is not really a hypnotist, and is only pretending.

Nobody is actually ever hypnotised, and it is all pretend.

At the end of the show, people might clap their hands to show how much they enjoyed the story. This might be noisy.

I can wave at the actors instead if I prefer. When the clapping has ended, the lights will become brighter.

I can now leave the studio.
