Just had this from Southampton's Mayflower Theatre as I was trying to organise a dry-run before my family goes to see the panto there. They've also made their own social story you can download in advance! I was so pleased I thought they deserved a plug.

You may not be aware, but we are holding our first ever Relaxed Performance of this year?s panto Jack and the Beanstalk at 1:30pm on January 15th, which will mean that those with a wide range of disabilities and particularly those with Autism will be able to make as much noise as they want to and will be able to get up and move around without any fear of comment from other customers. The show will also be specially adapted to reduce the sensory overload by keeping the houselights on throughout, by reducing the overall volume and removing certain special effects.
