New Vic Theatre
Theaters & Cinemas in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire
The Victoria Theatre Company was the 1st professional firm in Britain to perform permanently in the round - that is, with the audience on all sides of the acting area. Today, the New Vic is known both for its professional productions and for its award-winning work in the community. The firm's origins go back to the late Stephen Joseph, manager, actor, designer, lecturer and writer. In the late 1950's, along with other younger theatre practitioners, he was ambitious to renew the vitality of British theatre, founding the Studio Theatre Company to explore a new layout for performance: theatre-in-the-round.
