Walk This Play: Monuments
by ThickSkin Theatre
Walk This Play: Monuments launched May 30th and is available throughout the summer to give you the theatre experience we've all been craving. It weaves together the stories and memories of Ancoats residents with the sights and sounds of the area today.
Check out ThickSkin's video of our launch day and hear what our first theatergoers had to say!
How to do the walk
- You will need headphones and a smartphone with access to wifi in order to download the free Echoes App in the App Store or Google Play.
- The App is optimised for the following operating systems: Android - version 6 [Marshmallows; API version 23] to version 11.0 [API version 30] i0S version 11 to version 14.4.
- From in the App, you can access the audio experience and route maps. We recommend downloading the play to your device. That way you won’t need to use wifi during the walking experience.
- For the best experience, wear headphones and follow the instructions given by the narrator. As you follow the guided route you will trigger new chapters in the story when you reach key locations.
- All routes are circular and will start and end at a set location, highlighted on the route map. The routes are accessible and can be enjoyed at your own pace.
- As this is an audio experience, D/deaf audiences can choose to use the in-app captions.
- Visually impaired audiences may need a walking companion for safety with crossing roads.
- The walks are outdoors, so make sure you wear comfy shoes and clothed for the weather.
