"In this book Tomasz Wi?niewski explores the roots, techniques, methodologies and influences of Complicite's performances without attempting to codify either its international spirit or the plurality of its styles.  Granted unprecedented access to the Complicite archives, Dr. Wi?niewski has crafted a sensitive, deeply penetrating, yet accessible analysis of one of the most dynamic, intelligent, and regenerative theatre companies of our time.  I would certainly recommend it to theatre historians and practitioners as at least one model of how theatre remains a vital force in 21^st century culture." - S. E. Gontarski, Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of English, Florida State University, USA

"Through a combination of impeccable theatre research and perceptive critical analysis, this book opens a window onto one of Britain's most consistently creative theatre companies." - Kenneth Pickering, Honorary Professor of Drama, University of Kent, UK
