Old Vic Theatre

Fabulous theatre! Staff are super attentive too, I had an issue where I was sat and the ushers were quick to help me resolve it. Plenty of loos - love that they’re gender inclusive. Price of merchandise is really affordable too compared to other theatres. The box office staff are really helpful, allowed me to exchange a ticket for credit voucher

I didn’t care for this particular play but the venue is excellent. There’s really no awful seats. I think 🤔 that you would have a good view from anywhere, other than maybe the top floor. (I’ve never bought seats up there) Every floor has a concession with a seating area. (Not the main entrance) The seats are comfortable with plenty of leg room. The sound system is good and it’s easy to hear what’s being said.

We went to a play called The Brightening Air, which was actually downright amazing: the writing and the acting. Phenomenal. This also gave us an opportunity to meet this establishment, which we highly recommend. Before the show began you can drink beer or wine or even take some snacks with you into the theater. Also, babies are allowed. But none of that changes the absolutely fantastic atmosphere of creative playwriting perform seamlessly in a beautiful beautiful Hall. My recommendation is that anything that goes on there is worthwhile

Watched ‘Oedipus’ starring Rami Malek and Indira Varma. It was a great venue and the performance was amazing. The building looks a bit old but rather classy. It is also very easy to find as it is just almost outside London Waterloo station.

Having traveled from Athens, Greece – a city steeped in ancient drama – I had high expectations for Oedipus Rex at The Old Vic, and I must say, it exceeded them in every way. Rami Malek delivered an outstanding performance as Oedipus, capturing the character’s tragic descent with depth and intensity. His portrayal was powerful, nuanced, and emotionally charged. The entire cast was exceptional, each actor contributing to the gripping narrative with authenticity and passion. The chorus was truly mesmerizing, adding an almost ethereal quality to the performance. The combination of movement, rhythm, and hauntingly beautiful soundscapes created an atmosphere that was both immersive and unforgettable. The sound design itself was remarkable, enhancing every moment with subtlety and precision. Having experienced Oedipus Rex in iconic venues such as Epidaurus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens, I can confidently say that this production stands among the very best. It was a unique interpretation that honored the classic while bringing a fresh, compelling energy to the stage. This was not just one of the finest renditions of Oedipus Rex I’ve seen – it was one of the most powerful theatrical experiences I’ve ever had. The Old Vic truly delivered a masterpiece.
