Trafalgar Theatre — Attraction in London

Good venue that has wheelchair and transfer seats available via their access scheme. Quite an intimate theatre space and the show was good except for deafeningly loud music in places in the piece we saw with no warning given so if you have sensory issues it might be worth checking when booking. Lots of stairs to the levels but stalls has a small wheelchair/person lift operated by staff member so 1 passenger allowed at a time I think. My chair seat is 21in I think rather than the more standard 17in and it only just scraped in. Angle of entry and exit a bit tricky too though staff will help if needed. I believe they have a transfer wheelchair for situations where a patron's chair won't fit but if you're going to be in wheelchair all performance rather than transferring that's not going to be as comfortable. If your chair is larger/longer you should probably check if you can get it in the lift when booking on access line as size wasn't mentioned when I booked.

Quite a steep rake to stalls so if being wheeled you might need someone strong/staff help to go back up again. I decided to walk it holding onto my chair partly due to stiffness from sitting for such a long time and because I knew my friend wouldn't have managed hefting me uphill without having to get staff help.

Bar for each level but my friend just got water so no idea of prices. Disabled toilet available, I think they said radar key but writing this a couple of weeks later so can't be certain. Staff really friendly and helpful, asking if I needed anything in the interval and saying they'd help me on...

Second visit, last time was a long time ago. Staff warm and welcoming. Venue very good and well decorated. With both show related stuff and theatre architecture. Show A Mirror. Transferred from the Almedia. An excellent play reminiscent of 1984. Cast were excellent.

The matinee I attended was also the Theatres annual evacuation test. The staff were effective and efficient and friendly whilst clearing the auditorium. A save theatre.

Show. People Places and Things. Denise Cough portrays an actress descending into addiction and her return to peace. Cast are excellent. FoH. Helpful Highly recommended play.

Visited to see the epic The Merchant of Venice 1936, some change of cast, notable The Merchant, Portia and May. However, they form a very good cast the production is a modern retelling of the Shakespearean play and set both in Venice of the Elizabethan era but also in the streets of the east end of London on the eve of the black shirts move on to cable street, ultimately stopped by a coalition of east end docker, Caribbean and Africans and Irish Catholics who stood with their Jewish neighbours to halt Mosely. A generation or two afterwards, the message is still clear They Shall Not Pass. One of the best plays in London and holds up to more than one viewing. Staff very helpful...

We went to watch The Duchess of Malfi (starring Jodie Whittaker) and the play was absolutely fantastic. The acting was phenomenal, and the director’s interpretation of the play was incredibly insightful. However, despite this, the trip was ruined by the hostile environment to which we were greeted with. The staff were patronising, rude, and controlling. During the play, we were told that if we dared to use the toilet, we would be kicked out. Having paid £50 for each ticket, I was not willing to give them up for this. I sat through the entirety of the first part desperate for the toilet, and very uncomfortable. The prices of food and drink were exceptionally high, and as a result, during the interval, we had to go and get drink from elsewhere. Due to London traffic, we only managed to make it back 2 minutes past the interval time, and were made to move seats (despite our bags being at our paid seats) and have a much worse view. On top of all of this, we had to contend with the staff scowling at us throughout the play, particularly when we took a sip of our drink. I’m left feeling very uneasy about the treatment from the staff, as I had been looking forward to seeing this play for a...
