Maktub

Marcello Magni, Complicite’s co-founder directs Maktub based on Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist. Maktub is the story of Santiago, a young Andalusian shepherd who pursues a dream that takes him on an epic journey across a war-torn desert.

Maktub is part of three new works devised by graduating students of the Acting Collaborative and Devised Theatre course at Central, and directed by three Complicite Associates – directors who have worked with the company at key moments in its celebrated and diverse history. Students from Central's BA Theatre Practice course will make up part of the production team.
