Errrrrr yes
It's famous for having next to fuck all wheelchair access, actually. I want to take my daughter to see something but there are only 2 wheelchair accessible spaces in the place, everywhere else has stairs and no lift and they won't issue companion tickets to children (because your companion is supposed to be a carer). This means a wheelchair using parent apparently cannot take their child to the theatre |
