The Old Vic has embarked on a major programme of investment and renewal to sustain and modernise the Grade II* listed 203-year-old theatre as a creative hub and community resource for the next generation by building The Annex, a five-storey extension, to be completed in 2024. Sustainability has formed an integral part of the design proposals and salvaged materials have been incorporated from the start. The intent for the extension facade is to repurpose theatre barndoors, sourced from performing arts venues around the UK and we need your help to collect 240 of them. More details on the specifications and how to get them to the theatre can be found here.
