Hoard: Rediscovered

New Vic Production

Join us for dinner and a show in our refurbished auditorium as we celebrate welcoming audiences back to the New Vic.

From 10 – 19 June we present Hoard: Rediscovered revisiting and reimagining some of the pieces created for the New Vic’s 2015 Staffordshire Hoard Festival, originally developed in conjunction with the National Theatre Studio.

A New Vic first, this production has been digitally reimagined specifically for socially-distanced audiences, so join us for an evening discovering the secrets behind a local legend that will grip your imagination.

Our Dinner and a Show package includes:

A pre-show sharing platter and ticket to see Unearthed and a selection of our Mini-plays

Unearthed 7.00pm (Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays)

Written and directed by Theresa Heskins

A documentary-drama in the New Vic tradition, hear the words of the people who found an astonishing hoard of gold in a Staffordshire field, and the story of the experts who tried to unravel its meanings.

How was the Hoard hidden? Who by? And why?

Please note: Contains some strong language.
