Young Vic Theatre History
Young Vic Theatre is the younger sister of the Old Vic, known for nurturing young and emerging theatre talent. This renewed auditorium celebrates both icon and iconoclasm - a paradox from which much energy seems to flow. And we've added two smaller, flexible spaces, welcoming public areas, as well as an improved technical infrastructure and back-stage facilities.
