Lyn Gardner: “Complicite’s early shows evolved as much from a lack of resources as they did from a particular aesthetic, and it’s been the same with plenty of other companies, from Improbable and Kneehigh to Little Bulb and Action Hero. That’s not an argument for artists starving in garrets or being unable to access subsidy and investment … But it is a reminder that need can be a spur to creativity and make artists think about different ways of making theatre.”
