Accessibility
The show has been devised to be as accessible as possible for D/deaf audiences with integrated British Sign Language (BSL) used by all cast members, alongside spoken English.
The set design has also incorporated dynamic captions, which as well as making it more accessible helps to encourage early readers to recognise the rhymes they know so well as written words.
