Listen "S7 Ep1: Simon McBurney OBE"
Episode Synopsis
Dom talks to Simon McBurney OBE, the co-founder and artistic director of the monumentally consequential theatre company Complicité, and an actor you’ll recognise from his roles in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Duchess, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, and Rev, to name just a few. His latest show is FIGURES IN EXTINCTION, a co-creation with the Olivier Award winner Crystal Pite; a collaboration between Complicité and Nederlands Dans Theater. The conversation ranges from what it's like to direct Al Pacino in a play, to being directed by Robert Eggers and Christopher McQuarrie, to humanity’s relationship with mortality and how to convey that through physical theatre. With special thanks to Sadler's Wells, Will Ferreira Dyke, and Farah Sadek.
