Following UK government advice, we have now made the difficult decision to cancel our current production of Nora and postpone our upcoming productions of Orfeus and Conundrum. LIFT Festival has also cancelled their 2020 festival, which includes our co-production of The Second Woman.
We ask that you please bear with our small but brilliant Welcome Team as they deal with a huge number of ticket holders for the above shows.
As a charity, we rely on ticket sales for a substantial portion of our income, and the insecurity ahead is a huge worry for those who work for and with us, as it is for the theatre sector as a whole. Therefore - if you can afford to - please consider donating the price of your ticket, or another amount however large or small, to the Young Vic.
Written and directed by Paul Mason, former Economics Editor of Channel 4 News and BBC’s Newsnight, Astoria follows a Syrian refugee’s journey to the West. Once there, an encounter with the past in a Budapest hotel draws a parallel between Europe’s historical and current response to refugees.
Astoria is part of Horizons, a season of work exploring the lives of refugees by the Young Vic. Find out more about our Horizons season.
