Young Vic Goes Walkabout The Young Vic has closed for refurbishment - in fact, for major rebuilding - but the copany is not going dark. rather it will go "walkabout", occupying a number of theatres: the Barbican, the Lyric Hammersmith, Trafalgar Studios, Chichester, New York, Paris, Lyon, Zagreb and Berlin. However its new season doesn't open in a theatre at all, but in a church: St John's, Waterloo, where, from 7th to 11th September, in co-operation with English Touring Opera, it will present Tobias and the Angel, which will then tour nationally. From 19th October, the Young Vic will revive its popular production of the musical Simply Heavenly, starring Clive Rowe, and over Christmas, from 11th December to 11th January, it will be at the Barbican with another revival, Sleeping Beauty. Finally, from 18th February to 26th March, 2005, it will relocate to the Lyric, Hammersmith, for Lorraine Hansbury's A Raisin in the Sun. The play which has just finished, Martin Crimp's Cruel and Tender, will head for Chichester and then on a European tour, whilst Sleeping Beauty and the co-production with Iceland's Vesturport Theatre Company, Romeo and Juliet, will head off to New York. “We thought," said artistic director David Lan, "if we couldn’t be here, we’d be everywhere.” ITV London has given the theatre the use of five rehearsal studios in Kennington Park for offices and reherasal rooms. In another development, Luc Bondy, artitsic director of the Vienna Festival, has joined the Young Vic company as an associate director. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
