Age Recommendation

Age Recommendation is assessed according to the complexity and sensitivity of issues, images, sexual references and strength of language used in both Leeds Playhouse productions and visiting productions. Any sensitive content is highlighted in our main brochure and on the individual production web pages, but we do encourage schools to call our Box Office with any specific concerns or questions regarding sensitive material in the productions.

Take note…

We strongly discourage students from taking notes during performances at Leeds Playhouse. Please encourage your students to fully enjoy their theatre experience by focusing completely on the action on stage. They can then jot down any notes immediately after the performance.

For specific support for students studying a performance to write about in an exam, please contact the Education team at creativeeducation@leedsplayhouse.org.uk

We offer bespoke CPD for individual schools or MATs, to be run at training days or twilight sessions. For more information please contact connect@leedsplayhouse.org.uk.
