“Captiview [personal closed captioning devices used in cinemas] is not the answer,” said one anonymous respondent. “This version of in-person [closed captioning] is insufficient and dehumanizing. Open Captions are truly the only way to go for an in-person festival experience.”

Pleasure working with you all! Shame I couldn't be there though, no thanks to the train strikes but understandable when people have to fight for their rights.
Our @ace_national funded R&D of Actually, Love @TheNorthWall earlier this year allowed this show to take shape. We worked with Digital 4 and @deepgiggles to create a captioned and BSL interpreted showing. Peep the captioning unit/interpreter in these pics!!

Absolutely loved being back in the rehearsals room and what a team and amazing /talented cast! Learning so much from @SarahBrigham and @LilachYosiphon. The bonus is that I finally got to see the famous and impressive Derby Theatre after hearing about it for the last 15 years!
