"Jenny Sealey and the Graeae team have had a pivotal role in raising the profile of disabled writers and performers, and in bringing their expertise to mainstream theatre."

Munira Mirza, Advisor for Arts and Culture to the Mayor of London
Graeae Theatre Company

About our productions

Graeae tours nationally – sometimes internationally – up to two major productions a year, working with disabled artists and creative professionals throughout the process.

Jenny Sealey, Artistic Director, is dedicated to the creation of “aesthetically accessible” productions. As part of the multi-sensory experience, and a passion for making the type of productions we would like to go and see, our shows often fuse British Sign Language and audio description as an integral part of the action.

Accessibility is at the heart of Graeae’s work:
*     Rehearsals and auditions are designed to be accessible to all
*     All Graeae productions tour to accessible venues
*     Our cast and crew tour with an access support team as required
