This year at Circa Theatre something special will be taking place; for the first time in New Zealand, Circa’s summer pantomime will include a Relaxed Performance of Roger Hall’s Robin Hood, directed by Susan Wilson.

A Relaxed Performance is a stage production different to your usual theatre show. It is constructed with the needs of disabled audience members in mind, particularly those with intellectual disabilities and those who are on the autism spectrum. Here at Circa we understand that, for certain groups of people, the theatre can be a difficult place to navigate with all its codes and conventions.

People with disabilities, especially children and their families, can find it near impossible to be comfortable in a theatre environment; especially when staying quiet and siting in your seat for the duration of the entire show is out of the question!

There he is! Oh no he isn’t. Oh, yes he is!!
