The Old Vic Theatre Bicentenary Season

By Lucy Brooks on 2/11/2017

'To honour The Old Vic’s 200th birthday we are celebrating it partly as a treasured historic icon but mostly as an adventurous, youthful, hub of creativity with a vibrant future ahead of it,' said artistic director Matthew Warchus.

The Bicentenary Season celebrates innovation and diversity. Six new productions span young adult literature, classic cinema and Suffragette-themed hiphop.


Public booking for the Bicentenary Season opens on Wednesday 15 November 2017.
