21Years of Complicite Theatre company Complicite and their artistic director Simon McBurney are celebrating the company's 21st birthday with a fund-raising drive to find a home "perhaps for a few years". That home will be the theatre in the Alexandra Palace. Currently disused - it has not been used as a theatre for seventy years - it immediately attracted McBurney. "The moment I walked in," he said, "I felt comfortable." Now they are looking for 100 people to donate £500 a year for three years. These "Accomplices" will, he says, have "an intimate relationship" with Complicite. Although the company has no plans for work after the current Measure for Measure at the National and further development work on The Elephant Vanishes (which could almost be called its signature show), McBurney does admit that the thought of a piece based on Dickens in the theatre is an exciting prospect. The Alexandra Palace theatre held around 3,000 and was inspired by the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
