| Summary |
"Peter Brook is one of the giants of twentieth-century theater, a unique creative genius who, through his groundbreaking productions of King Lear, Marat/Sade, a Midsummer Night's Dream, and especially The Mahabharata, has virtually reinvented the way actors and directors think about theater. Margaret Croyden has followed Peter Brook's career from 1970 to the present, gaining unparalleled perspective on the evolution of his work. Throughout the interview in this book, she uses that knowledge to elicit from Peter Brook some of his most insightful thoughts and deepest feelings about theater and the world."--BOOK JACKET |
