For theatrical performances, I rate this place 4 to 5 stars. Very little we have seen performed here has been less than above-average. We have been regular attenders at the Young Vic for more than 20 years.

However, today, 17th September 2016, we were insulted before the afternoon performance of "The Emperor" One member of the staff wrongly accused my wife of tampering with reserve notices on seats, where there had been NO such notices when we arrived in the auditorium. When we complained about him to the house-manager, a lady, we were accused of lying because she said that as she had not been present at the time of the incident and therefore could not be sure of the truth of our complaint.

What has happened to the idea that the customer is always right? Is defending the mideeds of a colleague more important than maintaining good relations with long-standing paying clientele?

This kind of behaviour will make us reconsider whether to book any more tickets at this theatre.

PS I have the names of the staff who upset both us and are ruining the theatre's reputation, but will not reveal them in public as I do not wish them to feel as humiliated as we were made to feel.
