Following recent improvements, The Old Vic is now more accessible than ever. There is a step-free entrance on Waterloo Road with lift access to the Box Office, inner foyer, Penny bar and cafe and stalls level of the auditorium. Once inside the auditorium there are up to 10 wheelchair spaces at every performance, including gaps that allow for two wheelchairs to be positioned side-by-side.
The theatre’s next production is Tinuke Craig’sfive-star revival of Jitney, August Wilson’s (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) groundbreaking modern classic exploring the fragile bond between eight men as they live, love and work in a racially segregated, post-Vietnam America.
Jim Becker and his unlicensed drivers take the people of Pittsburgh Hill District where regular taxi cabs won’t – healing old wounds and tearing new ones as they pass the time in a condemned taxi rank between pick-ups.
