Tim Crouch (Director) and Toby Parks (Managing Artistic Director, Spymonkey) discuss their work The Complete Deaths.

Toby: It's going to be very moving, it will be quite violent, there's room for quite a lot of blood. I think it will be very funny.

Tim: Some we'll do very quickly, some we'll do very slowly, some we'll do musically. All we'll do comedically. 

Toby: It's going to be mad and wonderfully varied sort of tour through modern art and performance.

Tim: I'm working with the company Spymonkey who are Brighton based and who I think are one of the funniest physical theatre companies that I know.

Toby: We've never worked with Tim Crouch before this is our first project with him. He's a great scholar of Shakespeare, he has a formidable knowledge and erudition about the rigour of his work with Shakespeare, which for us is remarkable.

Tim: I make very different work to what Spymonkey make. I'm not a sort of physical clown in my work. So it was a challenge, a challenge for me to start to work with a group of people with a different discipline, and I suppose it was a challenge for them to work with someone who has a slightly different discipline.

Toby: That's what the show is about, as much as tackling Shakespeare's deaths, it's about two practices kind of rubbing up against eachother and seeing what that makes and that's really exicitng.
