ARTISTIC POLICY The Young Vic is a theatre for everyone. It presents great plays – classic and new work – in innovative productions by the world’s great directors and by a new generation of dynamic theatre artists. At its heart is the desire to build a lively and diverse audience and to nurture new talent.
REVIEW EXTRACTS 'Part delirious farce, part nightmare... left the audience whooping with pleasure.' Telegraph (Vernon God Little)
'A triumph of design and comic verse... A high voltage and very smart satire on American life.' Observer (Vernon God Little)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS Vernon God Little Adapted by Tanya Ronder from the novel by DBC Pierre. Directed by Rufus Norris. A teenage misfit from Texas goes on the run to escape prosecution for a crime he did not commit. It’s Friday at the Sheriff’s office. Vernon sits in his underpants, staring at his Nike’s. His best friend Jesus went and killed all their classmates, then himself. Normal times just ran howling from town. (9 on stage.)
Tintin Adapted by David Greig and Rufus Norris from Hergé’s Tintin in Tibet. Directed by Rufus Norris. A co-production with BITE05 at the Barbican. (14 on stage.)
The Magic Flute/A Christmas Carol Isango Portobello from South Africa and the Young Vic have joined forces to launch a dynamic new Cape Town theatre company with world premieres of The Magic Flute (Impempe Yomlingo) and A Christmas Carol (Ikrismas Kherol). Directed by Mark Dornford-May, both shows are transposed into a township setting and encompass the various languages of the nation. (30 on stage.)
