THEATRE At the Young Vic we tell stories that change the way people look at the world. Our shows are created by some of the world’s great artists – of this generation and the next. With roots deep in our neighbourhoods, we reach out to theatre makers across the globe. We have the most diverse and engaged audience in London, enjoying work of the highest quality at low prices. In our award-winning super-flexible theatre, you’ll never feel you’re in the same place twice. The Young Vic. It’s a big world in here. Three Sisters 8 September – 13 October 2012 The courage it takes to defy convention and find happiness is at the heart of Chekhov’s timeless masterpiece, directed by Benedict Andrews (The Return of Ulysses, The Wars of the Roses).
Fireface 28 September – 20 October 2012 Something’s wrong with Kurt and Olga. Suffocated by their parents and trapped in a world they despise, it seems like there’s no escape from the endless humiliation of being young. Directed by Sam Pritchard, winner of the JMK Award. Blackta 26 October – 17 November 2012 This hilariously biting satire directed by Young Vic artistic director David Lan exposes the highs and lows of making it as a black actor – a ‘blackta’.
