In February 2010, The Old Vic acquired this new performance space beneath Waterloo Station, home to a number of innovative and exciting Theatre and Arts events throughout 2010.
The Old Vic Tunnels opened as 'The Lambeth Palace', a specially built underground cinema which screened the UK premier of Banksy's film Exit through the Gift Shop. This was followed by the first major theatre production in the space - Ditch, by Beth Steel.
Recent productions have included Aftermath, part of the LIFT Festival, a three day Improvisation festival called Slapdash and Alan Moore, the comic genius behind V for Vendetta, League of Extraordinary Gentleman and The Watchmen, read his new short story 'Unearthing'.

The Old Vic Tunnels season will culminate in a major production by Old Vic New Voice's community department called PLATFORM which will see 100 Londoners creating a new piece of theatre for the space. The Old Vic will host open auditions and anticipates a total audience of 4,000 guests throughout the 10 performance run. Tickets to the event will be free of charge.
Kevin Spacey, Artistic Director at The Old Vic, said today: “The Old Vic is thrilled to be developing plans for this incredible space, where exciting performances and creative collaborations will feature throughout the year. Inspired by the success of Tunnel 228 last year, this epic space beneath Waterloo Station will again host memorable experiences for visitors.”
