What is this place?

Little Angel Theatre is a small children's puppet theatre at 14 Dagmar Passage, Islington (N1 2DN). (Little Angel Studios is a separate venue with its own visual story — this listing is for the Theatre only.) For each in-house production it schedules at least one relaxed performance, designed for anyone who would find a standard show difficult — for example children who are uncomfortable with sudden lighting changes or loud noises. At a relaxed performance the theatre limits attendance to 60% of capacity and adjusts the sound and lighting levels, and tickets are subsidised at £10 (down from the standard £13 child / £15 adult). Audience members are always free to leave and re-enter the auditorium whenever they need to (not only at relaxed performances). Visual Stories are created for each in-house production to help families prepare. One pair of ear defenders is available; supply is very limited, so ask the venue about availability before your visit. The ground-floor auditorium, foyer, box office and toilets are step-free via a ramp at the entrance, with an accessible toilet (1.35m × 1.45m); the theatre can accommodate one wheelchair user (two if in the same party). Relaxed-performance dates change with each production, so check the current What's On before booking. No Changing Places toilet is mentioned, so it's shown as not confirmed.
