It was established in 1818 as the <b>Royal Coburg Theatre</b>, and renamed in 1833 the <b>Royal Victoria Theatre</b>. In 1871 it was rebuilt and reopened as the <b>Royal Victoria Palace</b>. It was taken over by <a href="/wiki/Emma_Cons" title="Emma Cons">Emma Cons</a> in 1880 and formally named the <b>Royal Victoria Hall</b>, although by that time it was already known as the "Old Vic". In 1898, a niece of Cons, <a href="/wiki/Lilian_Baylis" title="Lilian Baylis">Lilian Baylis</a>, assumed management and began a series of <a href="/wiki/William_Shakespeare" title="William Shakespeare">Shakespeare</a> productions in 1914.

It was the name of a <a href="/wiki/Repertory" class="mw-redirect" title="Repertory">repertory</a> company that was based at the theatre and formed (along with the <a href="/wiki/Chichester_Festival_Theatre" title="Chichester Festival Theatre">Chichester Festival Theatre</a>) the core of the <a href="/wiki/National_Theatre_of_Great_Britain" class="mw-redirect" title="National Theatre of Great Britain">National Theatre of Great Britain</a> on its formation in 1963, under <a href="/wiki/Laurence_Olivier" title="Laurence Olivier">Laurence Olivier</a>. The National Theatre remained at the Old Vic until new premises were constructed on the <a href="/wiki/South_Bank" title="South Bank">South Bank</a>, opening in 1976. The Old Vic then became the home of <a href="/wiki/Prospect_Theatre_Company" title="Prospect Theatre Company">Prospect Theatre Company</a>, at that time a highly successful touring company which staged such acclaimed productions as <a href="/wiki/Derek_Jacobi" title="Derek Jacobi">Derek Jacobi</a>'s <i>Hamlet</i>. However, with the withdrawal of funding for the company by the <a href="/wiki/Arts_Council_of_Great_Britain" title="Arts Council of Great Britain">Arts Council of Great Britain</a> in 1980 for breaching its touring obligations, Prospect disbanded in 1981.
