Season 22, Day 17 - "Vic Tour"

It's Old week, and today's quiz is inspired by the Old Vic.

The Old Vic

The Old Vic (formally the Royal Victoria Hall) is a historic not-for-profit theatre in London. Opened in 1818 as the Royal Coburg Theatre, it was renamed the Royal Victoria Theatre in 1833 and soon became popularly known as the Old Vic. Known for its Shakespearean productions, the theatre had hosted performances of all of the Bard’s plays by the 1920s. Alec Guinness, Helen Mirren, and Anthony Hopkins are a few of the notable actors who have appeared in plays there. The Old Vic was also the name of the repertory company based at the theatre, which made up the core of the National Theatre of Great Britain upon its foundation by Oscar-winning actor Laurence Olivier in 1963. The Old Vic was home to the National Theatre until it moved to its new home on the South Bank in 1976.
