“One of the best evenings at the theatre since I lost my sight” - Audience member on Danesha (2024 tour)
Working with audio description specialists Hear the Picture, every performance of How Soon is Now? will feature creatively integrated audio description, allowing visually-impaired audiences to experience the production as it was intended. We'll go further through an innovative character-led experience that enriches the storytelling, creatively opening up new ways of engaging with the production. Through headphones, a character from the world of the play will bring visual storytelling vividly to life, creating a richer, more immersive experience. Because great theatre should be for everyone, at every performance, in every venue.
A huge thank you to all of Crowdfunder supporters who have made this possible.
It’s New Year’s Eve, 1997. Manchester. The DJ’s in full flow, and as your favourite indie songs blast out into the smoke-filled air of the club, the whole place feels electric.
Three girls are on the dancefloor. Polly and Angie are up for a big night. Jean is lost and alone. Change is in the air - New Labour, New Year, a new millennium. After decades of grey, this should be their time. But as darkness falls and midnight arrives, will they find their light?
Set to a live soundtrack of 90’s classics, How Soon is Now? is an indie musical about mates, music and magic – finding your place and finding yourself.
There’s a club. Would you like to go?
