Jane Ensell, an audio describer who has carried out the role at Sheffield Theatres for the past eight years, said on Twitter she was leaving the venue because it does not pay its audio describers.

Jane added on Twitter that audio describers were the only unpaid staff at Sheffield Theatres, with sign language interpreters and the captioners being paid.

"Some of my colleagues have been there for as long as 25 years and it was far more usual back then [not to be paid] but this is 2019 and equality of access is law and we should not be expecting disabled people to rely on charity for their rights."
