Synopsis
Now in paperback. Unique insights on England's greatest dramatist from one of the world's most influential and admired theatre directors.
In this collection of essays and speeches, Peter Brook debates such questions as who was the man who wrote Shakespeare's plays, why Shakespeare is never out of date, how to approach Shakespeare's verse and why actors should forget Shakespeare when performing his plays. He also revisits some of the plays which he has directed with notable brilliance, such as King Lear, Titus Andronicus and, of course, A Midsummer Night's Dream. These nine articles together offer an illuminating and provocative insight into a great director's relationship with our greatest playwright.

À propos de l?auteur
PETER BROOK is one of the most famous theatre directors in the world today. Lauded for his 1964 Marat/Sade and his 1970 A Midsummer Night's Dream, both for the RSC, he now lives and works in Paris producing a series of events which push at the boundaries of theatre, such as The Mahabharata in 1985. His most recent UK production was The Suit seen at the Young Vic in 2012. His books, especially The Empty Space (1968) and The Shifting Point (1987), have sold thousands of copies worldwide
