With the Old Vic a London institution, what’s its little sister down the road playing at?
For two years it’s been out of service, under construction. But the Young Vic is back, and as artistic director David Lan says, “we promise not to go away again”.
Lan has led the £12.5 million rebuild of the theatre and oversaw the Walkabout season while the theatre was closed. From the plays, to the atmosphere, it’s clear that casual glamour, innovation, and access for all are all high on its list of aims, and a recent visit proves that it’s been worth the long wait.
