Young Vic

The Young Vic finally returned to its refurbished home in The Cut in 2007 with acclaimed community show 'Tobias & the Angel'. As you would expect, it's got more verve and youthful nerve than the grown-up Old Vic down the road and attracts a slightly younger more multicultural - yet still discerning - crowd. Director David Lan's eclectic programming of rediscovered European classics has proved popular with the critics, while a stage adaptation of DBC Pierre's 'Vernon God Little' was standing ovation material. Three venue spaces - the main house and studio spaces Maria and Clare - allow for flexible scheduling and more intimate works such as Tarell Alvin McCraney's moving 'The Brothers Size'. The Young Vic also provides its Waterloo home with a popular split-level bar and restaurant complete with an open-air balcony terrace.
