The Arts Terms
Digital Theatre productions with captions
A digital theatre production is where the play is recorded live and then distributed online, like a ‘film’ of the theatre performance. The addition of captions means that these productions are accessible to Deaf and hearing impaired people around the world. This is part of the push to provide a different form of physical access when a person cannot attend the performance at the venue. It also means that the performance is available multiple times and can be watched when the viewer chooses.
