Wings at the Young Vic (360G-Wellcome-206786_Z_17_Z)

The Young Vic has an international reputation for creating ground-breaking shows with the most talented artists. We keep ticket prices low and give 10% away for free to non-traditional audiences. This gives us one of the most exciting, diverse and young audiences in the country. The Young Vic is London’s most lovable theatre. The building welcomes; the programming dares. It offers danger in a safe place. The Observer In Autumn 2017, director Natalie Abrahami will stage Arthur Kopit’s Wings in our main house with renowned actor Juliet Stevenson playing the lead role – a woman experiencing the aftermath of a debilitating stroke. We’ll run a program of activity to widen Wings’ reach and impact, including: - A main house run in September -October 2017 (45 performances). We’ll work with neurologist Dr Paul Jarman, and stroke patients and the show will reach a large and diverse audience. - Three post-show talks, four in-school and two on-stage workshops, and a Funded Ticket Scheme. - A community show inspired by Wings working with adults experiencing dementia or neurological disorders. This will be performed at the Young Vic, in care homes and medical centres.
