SPIT is the leading national body for promoting BSL interpreted performances of mainstream theatre. SPIT aims to provide a link between arts organisations and the Deaf community, and to ensure that the high standard of British theatre is accessible to Deaf and hard of hearing people.
Signed Performances in Theatre (SPIT) was formed in 1994 to encourage and facilitate sign language interpreted performances for people who are Deaf and hard of hearing. The primary aim is to ensure that all Deaf people have access to a broad range of theatre through the provision of high quality BSL (Britsh Sign Language) interpreted performances. A BSL interpreted performance is, in basic terms, a performance during which the vocal line is interpreted into sign language. The organisation has evolved out of a need not only to cater for Deaf and hard of hearing audiences, but also for venues and companies themselves to be sensitive to and better educated about the issues and practice of providing BSL interpreted performances
