Complicite's work has ranged from entirely devised work to theatrical adaptations and revivals of classic texts. The Company has also worked in other media; a radio production of \u003ci\u003eMnemonic \u003c\/i\u003efor BBC Radio 3, collaborations with John Berger on a radio adaptation of his novel \u003ci\u003eTo The Wedding \u003c\/i\u003efor BBC Radio and \u003ci\u003eThe Vertical Line\u003c\/i\u003e, a multi-disciplinary installation performed in a disused tube station, commissioned by Artangel. Always changing and moving forward to incorporate new stimuli, the principles of the work have remained close to the original impulses: seeking what is most alive, integrating text, music, image and action to create surprising, disruptive theatre.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Methuen Drama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51254103048466,"sku":"9781350525535","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_887e7589-aa49-4777-94ee-05dbc23c8053.jpg?v=1746307834","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/mnemonic-9781350525535","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
