Listen Later

Let's head to the theatres with the latest on view on access. This time, Tim takes a look at National Theatre's audio described production and touch tour of Small Island as well as highlights what else is coming up from the company.

Small Island is the production of Andrea Levy's prize-winning novel of the same name.

Hortense yearns for a new life away from rural Jamaica, Gilbert dreams of becoming a lawyer and Queenie longs to escape her Lincolnshire roots. Small Island follows their lives through the Second World War until the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush at Tilbury, where hopes for the future soon meet the stubborn reality of post-war Britain.
