Circa Theatre to audio describe Four Flat Whites in Italy

Wellington's Circa Theatre is reaching a new audience with its first audio-described performance of Roger Hall's hit comedy Four Flat Whites in Italy.

"We are very excited to be presenting our first-ever audio-described
performance," says Ray Henwood, Circa Council Co-ordinator.

"Roger Hall is one of New Zealand's favourite playwrights and Four Flat Whites in Italy has been incredibly popular with audiences all around the country."

Circa Theatre is using one of the few audio describers in the country - Toi
Whakaari graduate Sarah Adams, who was responsible for the successful
audio-described performance of The Pohutukawa Tree.

Before the audio-described performance, audience members will be able to
take part in a touch tour of the set.

Date and time

The audio-described performance starts at 2pm on Wednesday 5 October.

A touch tour of the set starts at 1.15pm.

This audio-described performance is open to the general public so early
bookings are recommended.

Discounts are also available for group bookings. If interested in a group booking, please enquire at the box office at the time of booking.
