If you, like us, are missing the Young Vic today here are a few things you can try at home to get ready for the #NationalTheatreAtHome premiere of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE tonight [Queue the Twitter thread 👇]

Awkwardly perch next to a family member on the same kitchen table as if they were strangers sitting at @The_Cut_Bar. Make small talk. Get to know them. Become friends.

Create your own Streetcar-inspired pre-show cocktail🥃

Or just stock up on STELLAAAA!!! 🍺

Not drinking? How about some of our World famous ice-cold tap water infused with mint leaves 🥤🍃 #PoshestWaterIveEverHad

Did you know that our auditorium is built uniquely for every single show we stage? No seating plan is ever the same, so you can reconfigure your lounge furniture as if it were the YV auditorium. Bonus points if you do it in the round for a full #YVStreetcar experience

Be your own Front of House manager and flick your room lights on and off at the Beginners call to let stragglers know we are about to start 💡

Pretend that you bought a £10 Lucky Dip ticket & wait by your front door until 6.57PM, then kindly escort yourself to the best available seat in the house 🎟️💺

Is someone late for the show? Ask them to wait in the kitchen until a suitable time⌚️

Put your phone on silent but set an alarm to go off at a random point during the show, then give yourself a disapproving look when it rings 📱📢

We want to hear from you! Do you have any more recommendations for how to replicate the Young Vic experience from home tonight?
