(3884)

A not-for-profit theatre, proud to be a charity. We believe that theatre makes the world better and that anyone should be able to access and experience it - to understand it, entertain it and benefit from it. We are uniquely placed to achieve all of this as a large 1,000 seat theatre in the heart of London, focusing on creating equal access. We make world-class entertainment on an international sc

ale, reaching audiences of 350k+ every year through eclectic seasons of work, and a further 10,000 through free programmes for engagement, employment and social mobility. Our duality is important to us. It unites us. We’re so much more than the work we do on stage. We’re about creative excellence and social good. The Old Vic: Step into something wonderful.

🏡 'I think to him they were all my sons. And I guess they were.'

It's been seven years since Jeremy Herrin's heart-wrenching revival of All My Sons took to the stage at The Old Vic.

With a cast led by Sally Field, Bill Pullman, Jenna Coleman and Colin Morgan, Arthur Miller's domestic tragedy lays bare the devastating consequences one one patriarch's determination to live the American dream — no matter the cost.

✨ 'O, brave new world that has such people in it'

64 years ago today, Dame Eileen Atkins played Miranda in The Tempest at The Old Vic for the first time.

We were delighted to welcome Dame Eileen back to The Old Vic last year to open our new Backstage building.

👑 An Old Vic debut to remember....

In celebration of Sir Laurence Olivier's birthday, we're looking back to 1937 when he first stepped onto our stage in the role of Hamlet.

In the extraordinary 37 years that followed, between Broadway plays, an Oscar win and a knighthood, Olivier would continue to return to The Old Vic, performing in and directing countless productions. He also served as the founding director of the National Theatre Company during its inaugural years based at our theatre.
