After talking about the importance of our senses in theatre the other day, I remembered stumbling upon this really interesting venue. The Old Vic Tunnels beneath Waterloo Station in London has become a new and interesting place to put on theatre, performances, exhibitions, etc. The tunnels used to be part of the British Rail and are now an innovative venue. I love the combination of the environment, senses, technology, location, and just the overall experience that audiences and spectators participate in. I find it to be a pretty cool example of how theatre is progressing! Take a look at some of the videos and the websites below-- they're really interesting!
