In an exciting first for amateur theatre in Northern Ireland, BDG are making our production of KINKY BOOTS accessible for those who are deaf, deafened, hard of hearing; or indeed anyone who would normally benefit using subtitles on their TV, including those who are neurodivergent, or have ADHD, APD, SPD, hyperlexia, dyscalculia or anxiety.

Ballywillan Drama Group, in association with The Railway Arms, are proud to be holding a CAPTIONED PERFORMANCE of KINKY BOOTS on Wednesday 7 June 2023 at 7.45pm.

At a captioned performance, the words are displayed on screens placed near, or on the set, to be seen at the same time as they are spoken or sung. Speakers’ names, sound effects and offstage noise are also shown. Captioning is also helpful for theatre-goers whose first language is not English, anyone who has difficulty following accents and students who are studying the text of a play.

For KINKY BOOTS, we suggest booking seats in Rows U-W for optimum viewing.

BDG are grateful to The Railway Arms, Coleraine for their generous support, without which this captioned performance would not be possible.
