Lucy C Hayward

Lucy C Hayward is a playwright, access consultant and lecturer who produces theatre which is accessible for blind and visually impaired audiences without relying on audio description.

The stories I tell are inspired by the worlds of people who fade into the background on a day-to-day basis, the natural world and myths, legends and folklore which I update for modern audiences. My fresh interpretations of modern life enable audiences to relate to characters they recognise from their own lives. As a blind person, I am focused on developing access from the point of creation and working with artists who can share their own experiences of theatre and understand the importance of building access into the projects they are working on.
