Simon Montagu McBurney (born August 25, 1957) is an English actor and director. He is the founder of the UK-based Theatre de Complicite, which performs throughout the world. McBurney conceived and directed "A Disappearing number" - "A new devised piece, taking as its inspiration the heartbreaking story of the collaboration between two of the 20th century's most remarkable pure mathematicians, Srinivasa Ramanujan, a poor Brahmin from South India and Cambridge don GH Hardy".
McBurney was born in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. His father, Charles Brian Montagu McBurney, was an American archaeologist and academic. His mother, Anne Francis Edmondstone Charles, was a British secretary of English, Scottish and Irish ancestry; his parents were distant cousins.
