Replying to @HeatherRalph
In addition to being a misunderstanding, it's also just cobblers. Questions should be provided for EVERYONE in advance, unless they're testing the ability of applicants to do interviews under pressure rather than their long term suitability and qualifications for the job.

I was declined access requirements on an invitation to interview today, the theatre cited equality for this, stating it would be unfair to provide the questions in advance to a dyslexic candidate & it is a verbal interview w/ no txt based tasks.

This is a fundamental miss- understanding what #dyslexia is The industry needs to change. A lot is happening in the arts atm & it really feels like it is crumbling from the inside. The last year I’ve thought more about leaving this industry then I have about staying.
