At the West End Wilma awards, I was inspired by Wilma's new award for accessibility in the theatre so I spoke to West End leads including Rachel Tucker about it afterwards. Emma Williams ran over and requested she be interviewed, for it's a subject so close to her heart.
West End shows have very infrequent 'relaxed' performances for disabled theatregoers but West End stars share one message: 'We need at least one relaxed performance per month, otherwise theatre isn't truly accessible for all like we say it is'.

Thank you, Adam
