Complicité
A dark comedy by Finn Lanchester

Tuesdays to Saturdays at 7:30
Jack Studio Theatre,
London, Brockley SE4 2DH
Story
Simon, a climate activist, has handcuffed himself to a tree. Benoit, an oil drilling engineer, is drunk and angry. What can ensue but a complete clash of personality, ideology and culture?
“Complicité started as a piece for a scratch night that I was planning on doing with Victor. It quickly grew over a few months into a 50-minute reading which was put on at the Bread and Roses in Clapham. This slightly longer piece was developed for the Jack Studio as a result of that. I am extremely grateful to everyone who put so much work in to get this play made.”
