Peter Brook is one of the world's great theater directors. Responsible for historic productions of "Midsummer Night's Dream, Marat/Sade, The Mahabarata, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat "and "The Cherry Orchard," Brooks's main concern has always been the space occupied by both the actors and the audience. In this beautifully illustrated book, Andrew Todd and Jean Guy Lecat explore the evolution of Brooks's productions and his theories of theater design. They look at his work in the early days of the Royal Shakespeare Company and his fascinating white box "Dream "as well as his madhouse production of "Marat/Sade." They explore in detail his Theatre Bouffe du Nord in Paris where he staged "The Mahabarata" and the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey Theater where he first staged it in the US. This is a book that every serious theatergoer will want on his shelf.
