A Disappearing Number (Barbican Centre, West End)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | Where on earth does Simon McBurney get his ideas from? The unlikely source material somehow delivers 2 hours of invention and theatricality that would be sufficient to keep a handful of West End shows alive.....and great to see Saskia Reeves again after what seems like ages. Anyone with a genuine interest in the theatre should be at the Barbican. - Gareth James | 21 Sep 07 |
| Thought two hours was perfect timing - one of the best pieces of theatre I've seen this year - clever, visually arresting and a coup to make maths appealing despite some of the high level concepts being talked about. - IH | 20 Sep 07 |
| As always from Complicite this is an extremely imaginative staging but it outstays its welcome. Two hours is at least half an hour too much, and the desire to throw in as many references as possible (the Indian diaspora, the beauty of maths, Hindu philosophy etc etc) diffuses the impact of any message or point. - addicted to theatre | 10 Sep 07 |
