The Old Vic

The Old Vic opened for the first time in 1818 as The Royal Coburg Theatre, only to be renamed The Royal Victoria in 1833 in honour of the then Princess Victoria. For over almost 200 years it has played host to pretty much everyone and everything from Laurence Olivier and Maggie Smith in Othello and Alec Guinness in Hamlet to Neve Campbell in Arthur Miller's Resurrection Blues.
Last night, after a fabulous meal at the Waterloo Brasserie, we saw Inherit The Wind with Kevin Spacey and David Troughton. We both LOVED the play. Everyones performance was outstanding, especially Spacey. I saw the 1999 movie with Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott years ago and found the story compelling then, so it was great to see this adaption.

The Waterloo Brasserie is a french style restaurant across the road from The Old Vic. I chose a parsnip soup starter and a butternut risotto with sage foam as a main - which was delicious! William had a goats cheese and zucchini starter and sea bass for mains. We then shared 3 smelly cheeses with fruit chutney for afters.
A little expensive but absolutely worth it. We both had to spend a little extra time on the treadmill this morning!
