Complicite
A Disappearing Number
at the Novello Theatre

Conceived and Directed by Simon McBurney

Complicite's multi-award winning production of A Disappearing Number will return to London for a limited season at the Novello Theatre, from 10 to 25 September.

This highly anticipated return to the capital will reunite the original cast of Simon McBurney's acclaimed production for 17 performances in the West End. 

A Disappearing Number weaves together the story of two love affairs, separated by a century and a continent. The first happens now. The second is set in 1914. It tells of the heartbreaking collaboration between the greatest natural mathematician of the 20th century, Srinivasa Ramanujan, a penniless Brahmin from Madras in South India, and his British counterpart, the brilliant Cambridge don GH Hardy.

A Disappearing Number has received the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play (2008), the Evening Standard Award for Best Play and Critics' Circle Award for Best New Play (2007). 

The National Theatre is selling an allocation of tickets for this show at a special price of £29.50 (reduced from £45). Please note, there is a 50p per order booking fee for tickets for this production.
