“We worked on what the audience needs to engage with a show and we have been looking at a bunch of different things like impulse and responsivity.”

Le May said there were instructions in place to keep it a safe environment.

“We have not left everything up to chance,” she said.

“We have the ability to say ‘no’ to a decision if we feel it is unsafe or put us in a vulnerable position.

“It is not meant to be scary, but some elements might be scarier than others.”
