Content Advisory

Progress Theatre has always aimed to put on a varied programme of drama, including some plays that are edgy, gritty and which confront difficult themes or portray characters with objectionable habits or attitudes.  We believe that live theatre should be exciting and surprising. It can be loud, bright, or shocking, and occasionally some of the effects we use, or the themes our productions explore, can trigger distressing emotions. Sometimes there may be strong language, violence, or scenes of a sexual or other nature that may be upsetting to some people.

We also aim to welcome the widest range of audiences, where appropriate. We know that some of our patrons appreciate detailed information on the content of our shows in order to make informed decisions and to prepare themselves, or members of their party, including those with additional needs.

If there are specific themes you are concerned about, you can email us to find out more about the content of a production.
