点评:It's a beautiful theatre, but it goes downhill from there sadly.
Firstly, we were in the front row, and I know these seats are always sold as limited legroom/restricted view, but I've never been that close to the stage before. I could actually use the stage as a table for my drink (I didn't, but I could have).
On arrival I was shocked to discover that the bar doesn't open until 30 minutes before the performance. I think this is quite late, especially with my disability as I like to get to the theatre in plenty of time and recover from the journey before heading to the auditorium, and I wasn't able to do this.
Speaking of disabilities, I was shocked to see a sign on the disabled toilet that stated it was reserved as a priority for wheelchair users. Whilst I understand, of course, wheelchair users need to use the disabled toilet, so do a lot of people with other/hidden disabilities. A sign like this made me feel less important, even less disabled, and that's not the case. Maybe time to re-word your signs perhaps?
Finally our visit was marred by inconsiderate audience members. I know the theatre staff cannot really control this, but how about a little consideration to fellow audience members? If you insist on sucking sweets, don't do it in people's ear-holes. Blowing your nose, rustling packets and opening cans can all wait until the interval! And if you are going to get so drunk that you are going to be giggly at points during a WAR play, then maybe don't do that?! Sadly we had to leave during the second interval as the annoying noises and behaviours caused my daughter to experience sensory overwhelm. The inconsiderate actions of a few really ruined the trip for us.
翻译:这是一个美丽的剧院,但遗憾的是,它从那以后就走下坡路了。
首先,我们坐在前排,我知道这些座位总是以腿部空间有限/视野受限为卖点,但我以前从未离舞台这么近。我实际上可以将舞台用作摆放饮料的桌子(我没有,但我可以)。
到达后,我震惊地发现酒吧直到演出前 30 分钟才开放。我认为这已经很晚了,尤其是因为我有残疾,因为我喜欢在前往礼堂之前有充足的时间到达剧院并恢复体力,但我无法做到这一点。
说到残疾,我很震惊地看到残疾人厕所上有一个标志,上面写着它是为轮椅使用者预留的。当然,我理解轮椅使用者需要使用残疾人厕所,很多有其他/隐性残疾的人也需要使用。这样的标志让我觉得自己不那么重要,甚至不那么残疾,但事实并非如此。也许是时候重新措辞你的标语了?
最后,我们的访问被不顾他人感受的观众破坏了。我知道剧院工作人员无法真正控制这种情况,但能不能为其他观众考虑一下?如果你坚持要吮吸糖果,不要在别人的耳洞里吮吸。擤鼻涕、翻弄包装袋和打开罐头都可以等到中场休息!如果你喝醉了,在 WAR 剧中会咯咯笑,那么也许不要这样做?!遗憾的是,我们不得不在第二次中场休息时离开,因为恼人的噪音和行为让我的女儿感到感官不堪重负。一些人的不顾他人感受的行为真的毁了我们的旅行。
