FAQs

Complicité is trying to reduce its digital footprint and therefore, before emailing, please refer to our FAQs below in the first instance to resolve any queries.

When will you be touring?

Please check our Current Work page for information on our next touring show.

How can I book tickets to your next show?

All information will be in the Current Work section of our website. Please contact the box office of the venue that is receiving our next show in order to book tickets.

Are your shows available to watch online?

It is important to us to make our work available online where we can, though this is not always possible due to licensing and copyright restrictions, as well as commercial considerations. 

Please sign up to our mailing list and keep an eye on our social media channels to hear about any opportunities to watch our work online. If you are a teacher, you might also be interested in our Digital Offer for schools, which includes several of our past productions available to rent by the term.

How can I donate?

We would be delighted to receive your donation. You can visit our Support Us page for more details, including a list of perks that you can receive if you annually support us.

Can I audition for you?

Unfortunately, due to our small staff team, we are unable to accept unsolicited CVs for acting opportunities. Our productions are usually cast via agents.

Do you accept unsolicited scripts?

We cannot accept unsolicited scripts or idea pitches. We do not have a literary department and we make our work through devising, rather than a script-led process. We suggest submitting work to new writing venues, such as The Royal Court Theatre, National Theatre, Bush Theatre, Theatre503 and Finborough Theatre.

Can I invite you to see my show?

Please do invite us on email@complicite.org.

Can I have a performance licence to perform one of your plays?

It is possible to obtain a performance licence for many of our past plays. Please get in touch via email@complicite.org with the following information:

Can I buy one of your scripts?

Yes, the scripts of many of our past plays are published and available to buy via our Shop page, alongside other Complicité merchandise.

Can you run a workshop for my class or group?

Yes, we have a few options for Secondary Schools.

We run our Devising in the Secondary Classroom programme in the Autumn term each year to support students studying devising at GCSE, BTEC or A Level. The programme includes an in school student workshop and a place on a Teacher CPD workshop. Recruitment for this begins in April each year.

We also create bespoke workshop series for secondary schools. Please visit our Bespoke School Residencies page for more information.

We also run bespoke workshops and residences for professional artists and students in higher education or drama training both in the UK and internationally. You can find out more on our Bespoke Workshops page.

What resources do you have for teachers?

We have a number of virtual resources available for anyone teaching or exploring devising in the style of Complicité. You can access our Devising Notes for Teachers PDF on our Resources page, along with educational packs to accompany a number of our past productions.

You can also explore our Digital Offer for schools, which includes filmed productions and exclusive digital resources available to rent by the term.

You can also find out more about our Devising in the Secondary Classroom programme, which includes a Teacher CPD workshop exploring methods for teaching devising.

Would Complicité or Simon McBurney mentor me?

We are a small team and are unfortunately not in a position to provide bespoke mentorship opportunities for individual artists. However, we do aim to work with emerging and established artists in a variety of ways throughout the year. Please see our Working With Artists section for more information. You might also like to visit our Masterclasses page or our Mudlarks: Young Devisers page and join our mailing list for information on training opportunities run by Complicité.

Do you ship your merchandise worldwide?

We cannot ship to the EU at the present time, but we do ship to everywhere else worldwide.

How can I make theatre in a more sustainable way?

We use the Theatre Green Book 1 for our productions and we recommend visiting their website to find out more information.
