Feedback about the relaxed performance

“Sebastian’s Action Trust has an amazing time and for many it was their first time to watch a theatre production. Congratulations to BATS for making the joy of theatre accessible to all”

— Nicola Lawrence

“The relaxed performance was a breath of fresh air. Really great to see BATS leading the way. A credit to Basingstoke”

— Kerry Morrow

“You should all be very proud of yourselves. You helped make my autistic son’s first-ever theatre performance a technicolored dream of music and dance that he loved. Thank you!”

— Chris Gelderd

“You don’t know how much it means to us as a family to be able to do something like this together; where no-one is staring or bats an eyelid at my son’s noises or need to move about. It was fantastic! Isaac loved the dancing, especially when it was fast and people were running about - he got the giggles so much!”

— Mark Halls

“So grateful for a relaxed performance tonight - you have made our year. Our son couldn’t access musical theatre without these special relaxed performances and he gets so much out of it. You adapted it perfectly for a learning disabled/ASD audience and your many efforts to connect with families like ours are very much appreciated”

— Claire Halls

“It allowed me to fully enjoy the wonderful experience whilst currently recovering from my recent major surgery. It was like a warm hug - thank you for letting me be part of such a special evening”

— Scarlett (aged 9)

“You don’t realise how much it means for us to be able to do this as a family without having to worry about people’s stares, tuts and rude comments we often get. My son makes noise and needs to move. We could be a family at tonight’s performance... relaxed and having fun. It was perfect and I’m so incredibly thankful”
