The Old Vic is a London theatre, located just around the corner from Waterloo station between The Cut and Waterloo Road in Lambeth. It’s considered one of the capital’s most prestigious theatre venues.The theatre was initially founded in 1818 by theatre managers James King and Daniel Dunn, and royal painter John Thomas Serres, who managed to get permission from Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg to name it the Royal Coburg Theatre. The venue was deemed as a minor theatre and was only allowed to present non-serious genres. However, as the 1800s progressed, so did the rulings about major and minor theatres which led to the Royal Victoria Theatre (as it was known by that time) to be free to present a number of styles of theatre.The Old Vic Company was established in 1929 by Sir John Gielgud and was forced to tour the country and use temporary venues when The Old Vic building was damaged during the Second World War. It remained an independent company until 1963 when it joined the National Theatre group. In 1985, it was majorly refurbished by Canadian businessman Ed Mirvish, who had Jonathan Miller and Sir Peter Hall as artistic directors under his time as owner.In recent years, The Old Vic has been managed by a trust and has presented many critically and financially successful shows. In 2017, the theatre celebrated its impressive 200th anniversary.
