The Old Vic ble grunnlagt i 1818 under navnet Royal Coburg Theatre. Siden det ble klassifisert som et «mindre» teater, var det teknisk sett forbudt å sette opp seriøse teaterstykker. De mest populære stykkene på denne tiden var melodramaer om alkoholens fordervelse. Likevel ble det i 1824 satt opp seks Shakespeare-stykker i løpet av seks kvelder, noe som bragte finkulturen ut til folket. I 1834, året etter at skillet mellom «patent-teatre» og de mindre scenene ble opphevet, endret teatret navn til The Royal Victoria Theatre (på tross av at hertuginnen og den fremtidige dronningen bare besøkte stedet én gang). Shakespeare-forestillingene fikk mer fokus utover på det tidlige 1900-tallet, og Sir John Gielgud etablerte The Old Vic Company i 1929. Under andre verdenskrig måtte kompaniet flytte – enten på turné (1940–43) eller til New Theatre (1944–50) etter at teaterbygningen ble hardt skadet under blitzen. I denne perioden ble det også etablert en avlegger i Bristol under navnet Bristol Old Vic. The Old Vic Company ble oppløst i 1963, og National Theatre Company holdt til i huset helt frem til deres eget bygg på South Bank åpnet i 1976. Teatret holdt frem med sine teatersesonger gjennom flere eierskifter. I 2003 ble det annonsert at The Old Vic igjen skulle bli et produserende teater, og skuespilleren Kevin Spacey ble utnevnt til den første kunstneriske lederen for The Old Vic Theatre Company.

About Old Vic Theatre

The Old Vic was established in 1818 under the name the Royal Coburg Theatre. Due to its nature as a “minor” theatre, it was technically forbidden to put on productions of straight, serious drama. Popular pieces shown at the time were melodramas about the inherent evils of alchohol. Nonetheless, a serious of six Shakespeare plays was performed over six nights in 1824, bringing art to the masses.

In 1834, with the distinction between patent and minor theatres abolished a year earlier, the theatre was renamed The Royal Victoria Theatre (regardless of the fact the Duchess and the future Queen only visited once).

The Shakespearean performances were emphasized more throughout the early 20th Century, and Sir John Gielgud established The Old Vic Company in 1929. During the Second World War, the company had to relocate; either on tour (1940-43) or at the New Theatre (1944-50) after the theatre was badly damaged during the Blitz. During this time, an offshoot of the company established itself in Bristol as the Bristol Old Vic.

The Old Vic Company was dissolved in 1963, and the National Theatre Company performed at the theatre until their building on the South Bank was opened in 1976.

The theatre continued its seasons of drama throughout changes in ownership. In 2003, it was announced that The Old Vic would once again be a producing house. Actor Kevin Spacey was named the first artistic director of The Old Vic Theatre Company.

Excellent production of A Christmas Carol. The theatre looks chaotic, but they manage to usher you around in an organised way. There is not alot of space when seated. Wanting to leave your seat during a performance would be a major faff...avoid at all costs! The staff are cheery and the place looks clean and modern outside of the auditorium.

Finally, a standing ovation from me — and possibly from me alone! I got to see the poignant and relevant Mary Page Marlowe at The Old Vic,(Susan Sarandon) featuring a host of gorgeous and attractive stars who gave spot-on, seemingly effortless, yet mesmerising performances. The Old Vic has limited e room for a pre show drink on each floor, but of course you can go directly to your seats.. I found it charming,clean and well staffed. I really love the theatre and how the utilised the stage and limited props , but yet filled the space and imagination. Loved the show! Avoid front row Balcony seats as there is limited leg room. I'm only 5ft 7.

First visit to the Old Vic and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great view of the stage from our seats and good sound quality too. Easy to get to the bar and plenty of water jugs/glasses available for those that would rather just rehydrate. Toilets easily accessible and no real queues considering the show was a sell out. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

I've ve been to the old Vic a few times. Love the theatre and how it can be end on or in the round. Recently saw Susan Sarandon in a play, stage door afterwards she came and signed programs. I asked her to sign my arm near my Rocky Horror tattoos, she did, I got it tattooed the next day! Absolutely chuffed to bits. Beautiful theatre, great plays with great casts, always
