The stage is set…
2016 represents an extraordinary moment in British theatre history as the oldest working theatre in the country will celebrate its 250th birthday.
Much has changed since our theatre first opened its doors in 1766. Technically illegal, the theatre had to disguise plays as concerts and was forced to hide its entrance from public sight. Today, Bristol Old Vic enjoys national and international recognition as a theatrical powerhouse, housing ground breaking theatre whilst nurturing unique and individual talent and serving as a cultural beacon for the city and the South West.
The anniversary year will see the building begin the final phase of its redevelopment, set to transform the front of house spaces to bring its history to life and create a warm, welcoming and accessible venue for the whole of Bristol.
