Set in Britain in the near future when much of the country is underwater and the government has been reduced to a group of fascist strongmen, the men patrol the moors for illegals in a rural outpost of the state. As their numbers dwindle, they struggle to retain a semblance of civilisation in the face of the inevitable onset of global war.

**In February 2010, The Old Vic acquired Tunnels 228-332 from Lambeth Council, an innovative performance space beneath Waterloo Station. The unique venue will showcase productions, performances and installations in 2010 and will be home to a series of innovative and surprising arts events.
