The Young Vic opened in 1970 as a place in which younger directors, designers, actors, writers and technicians could work alongside the world’s great theatre artists to present exciting productions at the lowest possible seat prices.
Low prices were in part possible because of the intimate auditorium, built cheaply with a rough, light-industrial feel. This was all party of a dream of creating the inclusive, class-free society to which its originators aspired.
Over the last forty years, the company has established a powerful reputation at home and abroad. In particular, the Young Vic has begun to be recognised as the major theatre in this country in which young directors can develop and practise their art.
