Backstage is a project for the future – a six-storey space for creativity, education and community right next door to our historic building. This exciting development makes our back of house areas accessible for the first time in over 200 years.
Together with award-winning architects Haworth Tompkins, we have built a low-carbon building that includes:
- A welcoming public Cafe-Workspace during the day, which evolves into a vibrant bar and restaurant at night
- A Clore Learning Centre for our award-winning outreach work
- A Writers’ Room where creatives can work
- A free to use Script Library
- A modern and flexible rehearsal room which can transform into a Studio theatre
- An event space and terrace
We believe Backstage creates a stronger Old Vic for the future, providing a welcoming space for our generation and the next.

Fundraiser for Backstage
We are raising vital funds for Backstage, a brand new space next to our 207-year-old theatre. Every contribution brings us closer to opening the doors of this transformative new building and ensuring that anyone can experience, make and benefit from, theatre.
