The Young Vic is a theatre located in London, England. It is closely associated with the Old Vic, serving as a training ground and producing experimental and innovative theatre productions.
Originally conceived in 1946 as a company to present classic plays for young audiences at affordable prices, the Young Vic found a permanent home on The Cut in 1970. The theatre's focus has since expanded beyond purely youth-oriented programming to encompass a broader range of contemporary and classic works, often staged with a strong emphasis on directorial vision and design.
The Young Vic is known for its commitment to accessibility, both in terms of ticket pricing and the diversity of its programming. It has a history of showcasing emerging talent and collaborating with international artists. The building itself is a flexible space, allowing for a variety of staging configurations and audience experiences. The Young Vic also runs extensive education and community outreach programs.
