They provide the opportunity to explore the staging, props and costumes, and to meet members of the cast to allow blind and visually impaired audiences to better understand the production and its story.
Only one carer/companion per access user to attend the Touch Tour. Please be aware that the time may change for this Touch Tour due to rehearsals – if that happens, we will inform you by email or call you.
New Theatre Oxford
There has been a theatre on George Street for almost 185 years. The first theatre was built in 1836, and a second in 1886. In 1908, the Dorrill family took over the venue and finally in 1934, the third Theatre opened; the ‘New Theatre’. Stanley Dorrill masterminded the rebuilding of the theatre as we know it today. He commissioned a new building from the well-known theatre architects William and T.R. Milburn of Sunderland. The Milburns developed the decadent art-deco interior with T.P Bennett and Sons, who also designed the Saville Theatre in London.
