Neighbourhood Theatre Ticket Scheme

Through our Neighbourhood Theatre Ticket Scheme we welcome individuals from our local area who are signed up to our mailing list to apply for up to 2 tickets for most of our YV productions. This may vary depending on the availability of tickets and the nature of the production itself.

Our funded ticket scheme enables us to share free and discounted tickets to Lambeth and Southwark residents.

Neighbourhood Theatre, formerly Two Boroughs, strives to build a local community around our theatre.

Our friends and neighbours are really important to us. They are our beating heart, and we believe that if you live in one of our two boroughs, you should visit us at least once. If you don’t like it, you never need to come back, but there’s a chance that this will be the start of a lifelong friendship.

For 27 years, Taking Part has fostered deep, lifelong connections with the Young Vic’s Southwark and Lambeth communities through our Participation and Neighbourhood Theatre strands. The Participation strand offers 16- to 25-year-olds free opportunities to develop their creative skills and confidence through access to theatre, with a variety of activities for young people who live, work, or study in Lambeth and Southwark, or have no fixed address.

Neighbourhood Theatre, open to all residents of Lambeth or Southwark over 25, provides free tickets to shows at the Young Vic, along with workshops, theatre clubs, projects, and events throughout the year. No previous theatre experience is needed—just curiosity. Whether it’s a long-term project, a daytime workshop, or an evening event, there’s something for everyone. Simply call, email, or stop by and sign up for whatever interests you.

Past Production: American Dream 2.0 - trailer

Rehearsing Utopia (29’, 2019). Directed, filmed and edited by Rosie Gist.

Following a public casting call, 14 Londoners embark on a transformative challenge: devising a new, community play at the Young Vic Theatre. Given the timely opportunity to create their dream country, what will this group of strangers imagine? Can a utopia be realised, if only inside the theatre’s walls?

Made while studying on UCL’s MA in Ethnographic & Documentary Film, Rehearsing Utopia explores the perspectives and experiences of the participants in Young Vic Taking Part’s original production, American Dream: 2.0
