We have two Integrated BSL shows of The Frogs this week.
What's Integrated BSL? That's when a BSL Interpreter (in our case, the brilliant @BeckyCBarry ) joins the cast on stage and becomes part of the show, providing BSL interpretation for those audience members who need it.

'It’s got Spymonkey written through it – absurdity, surrealism, clowning, song and dance numbers and an incredibly imaginative approach to design and performance.' ★★★★ @TheReviewsHub
The Frogs is now open @RoyalDerngate and will be hopping its way to Kiln on 8 Feb.
