Janie and I both loved Théâtre de Complicité’s work ever since we saw The Street Of Crocodiles on our first proper date.
So, was this one, Out Of A House Walked A Man at the Lyttelton.
Here’s a link to the Theatricalia entry.
The one review I could find on-line can be found here.
Here is the Michael Billington review clipping:

Here is the Michael Coveney clipping:

We were ever so keen to see this one. We saw Landscape in the afternoon/early evening and this one at the regular theatre hour – a veritable theatre-fest of stuff we were very keen to see.
As usual a stupendously good cast assembled by Complicite, including Kathryn Hunter, Toby Jones and Marcello Magni. Simon McBurney at the helm but not on the stage for this one.
Again no actual reviews for this one but a wonderful Guardian piece about McBurney survives from a few week’s after we saw this show.
We both thought this production was very good.
We went to see Landscape by Harold Pinter earlier that day…
…and hung around for the Complicite. I guess we were a little time poor for theatre and stuff that autumn, as I was busy birthing Z/Yen and stuff that autumn.
Still, we highly rated both shows so that must have been a day to savour.
