About The Old Vic
Located south of the Thames, The Old Vic theatre is a short distance from the main hub of West End theatres on the other side of the river. The Old Vic is one of London’s most ornate and loved theatres, having been the original home of the National Theatre before they moved to their South Bank home. Having recently undergone a massive refurbishment project, the theatre now offers all the mod cons, while still retaining its original charm and opulence. Situated just off Waterloo Station, it is one of the easiest theatres to get to by public transport.

It is a brilliant play. It is a very thoughtful and thought provoking about the importance of knowledge in many aspects of it.

Science, love, history and humour, all in one play It's a great play, carried off successfully in the round, although when actors face away, it can mean some lost dialogue.

A wonderful play if seen in the right conditions First things first. It’s a great play. A rare combination of good storytelling, clever, witty language, intellectual fireworks, thoughtful characterisation and emotional heft.
The acting was generally excellent, and the lighting and stage effects were striking. But I thought the production in the round, though it was skilfully done and underlined some of the play’s themes of circularity and historical resonance, did not work well in this theatre as it compromised the set and staging and spoiled the viewing lines of some of the audience.
