Old Vic to Open New Non-Profit Venue

The Old Vic is to open a new non-profit venue for at least four shows or art installations a year in tunnels beneath Waterloo Station.

With shows running for between two to five weeks, the first Old Vic Tunnels season will culminate in Platform, an Old Vic New Voices community production created specially for the space by 100 Londoners. Open auditions are expected to be announced soon and the production will run for ten days.

The theatre used the space last year when it co-produced Tunnel 228 with Punchdrunk. This free show attracted an audience of 15,000 over fifteen days.

"The Old Vic is thrilled to be developing plans for this incredible space, where exciting performances and creative collaborations will feature throughout the year," said Kevin Spacey." Inspired by the success of Tunnel 228 last year, this epic space beneath Waterloo Station will again host memorable experiences for visitors."

Sponsorship is currently being sought for the new venture.
