Summary |
"Peter Brook's seminal book signalled his desire, in the late sixties, to leave behind conventional theatres for a protracted period of research into the fundamental nature of performance space. Now, in The Open Circle, Brook gives a full account of his own ideas and inspirations and the story of the International Centre's journey is told - one of the most thrilling adventures in theatre space since Shakespeare and Moliere."--BOOK JACKET |
