What happens to a life-long friendship when two ordinary men are ordered to do the unthinkable?

After a successful and critically acclaimed season in 2022, Guards at the Taj is making its return season!
Featuring a heartbreakingly funny friendship put to the ultimate test and existential banter reminiscent of Beckett and Stoppard, Guards at the Taj mixes witty black comedy with the bloodiest deeds of Greek tragedy.

AUDIO DESCRIBED & Tactile Tour PERFORMANCE

Friday 13 September at 6:30pm

Audio Description (AD) enhances the live performance experience for people who are blind or have low vision by providing a narration that provides detailed information and descriptions of the visual elements of a performance. AD is relayed via a free headset and receiver linked to the FM radio system. For select AD performances, tactile tours will be available. Tactile tours allow patrons who are blind or have low vision to have a hands-on experience. Patrons are given access to costumes, props and stage set in order to capture the atmosphere of the work. Tactile tours occur before the performance. To book the service and confirm if your chosen performance has a tactile tour available, call our Box Office on 02 8839 3399.
