Adding live description adds immeasurably to the enjoyment of the play. Until I had access to live description, I never knew how much I missed when attending a play…even if the person accompanying me was doing his or her best to keep me informed about the actions of the characters. It is also very unobtrusive so other audience members are not disturbed. Now, when I attend a play, I feel that I am really getting my money’s worth. I just simply didn’t know how much the visual element added to the entertainment. Now, if I go to a movie or play without description, I feel cheated and a bit disgruntled because I know I missed a lot. In consequence, now I only go to live theatre events that are audio described.
