HOME OF BRITAIN’S NATIONAL THEATRE, THE OLD VIC  

FEW cities in the world can rival London as musical and theatrical centre,  

for there are no fewer than six permanent orchestras in the Capital and.  

forty-seven theatres in its central area alone. One of the most famous of  

these and one which has gained world-wide renown is the Old Vic, an  

unpretentious little theatre on the south bank of the Thames near Waterloo  

Station.  

The theatre, birthplace of Britain’s national theatrical company, was  

badly damaged by bombs during the Second World War, but it has now  

been renovated, and the Old Vic Company, after period of exile at the  

New Theatre, in St. Martin’s Lane, has returned to its original home.  

The Old Vic was built in 1817 upon the foundations of the ancient  

Palace of Savoy, in which King John (1199-1216) was once held captive.  

Opened soon after the Battle of Waterloo, it was named the Coburg Theatre  

after the King of the Belgians. Sixteen years later its name was changed  

to the Victoria Theatre in honour of young Princess Victoria. After passing  

through period of lurid melodrama, the Old Vic, as it became known, was  

acquired in 1880 by Miss Emma Cons, who changed its whole character and  

established the theatre as centre for the performance of Shakespeare’s and  

other classic plays at popular prices. Miss Cons, pupil of Ruskin, gave up  

the life of an artist for social work, and was Alderman of the first London  

County Council. Her association with the Old Vic resulted in the provision  

of wholesome and joyous recreation at low price, and her devoted work is  

commemorated by an inscription in the theatre. Miss Cons died in 1912,  

and her great work was carried on by her niece, the late Dame Lilian  

Bayliss, whose name is also associated with the Sadler’s Wells Theatre in  

North London, which she established as popular centre of ballet and opera.
