Fix this textHOME OF BRITAIN’S NATIONAL THEATRE, THE OLD VIC
Fix this textFEW cities in the world can rival London as a musical and theatrical centre,
Fix this textfor there are no fewer than six permanent orchestras in the Capital and.
Fix this textforty-seven theatres in its central area alone. One of the most famous of
Fix this textthese and one which has gained world-wide renown is the Old Vic, an
Fix this textunpretentious little theatre on the south bank of the Thames near Waterloo
Fix this textStation.
Fix this textThe theatre, birthplace of Britain’s national theatrical company, was
Fix this textbadly damaged by bombs during the Second World War, but it has now
Fix this textbeen renovated, and the Old Vic Company, after a period of exile at the
Fix this textNew Theatre, in St. Martin’s Lane, has returned to its original home.
Fix this textThe Old Vic was built in 1817 upon the foundations of the ancient
Fix this textPalace of Savoy, in which King John (1199-1216) was once held captive.
Fix this textOpened soon after the Battle of Waterloo, it was named the Coburg Theatre
Fix this textafter the King of the Belgians. Sixteen years later its name was changed
Fix this textto the Victoria Theatre in honour of young Princess Victoria. After passing
Fix this textthrough a period of lurid melodrama, the Old Vic, as it became known, was
Fix this textacquired in 1880 by Miss Emma Cons, who changed its whole character and
Fix this textestablished the theatre as a centre for the performance of Shakespeare’s and
Fix this textother classic plays at popular prices. Miss Cons, a pupil of Ruskin, gave up
Fix this textthe life of an artist for social work, and was Alderman of the first London
Fix this textCounty Council. Her association with the Old Vic resulted in the provision
Fix this textof wholesome and joyous recreation at a low price, and her devoted work is
Fix this textcommemorated by an inscription in the theatre. Miss Cons died in 1912,
Fix this textand her great work was carried on by her niece, the late Dame Lilian
Fix this textBayliss, whose name is also associated with the Sadler’s Wells Theatre in
Fix this textNorth London, which she established as a popular centre of ballet and opera.
