The Old Vic
The Old Vic
The Grade II* listed Old Vic is one of London’s most important theatres. Not only is it one of the oldest theatres in the city but it also has a wealth of historic associations. It has seen numerous alterations over the years to adapt and appeal to changing cultural appetites and, in so doing, remain financially viable. Now, once again, it needs to be altered to enable it to function effectively as a ‘producing’ house and to address access, educational and other maintenance/conservation issues.
Our involvement with the Old Vic began with the production of a Conservation Management Plan to guide the theatre’s next phase of redevelopment. Since then we have advised on an extensive and highly successful refurbishment of the theatre itself, and the addition of a new annexe providing much-needed rehearsal, education and front-of-house space.
