Description

An Actor Adrift is the remarkable account of Japanese actor director Yoshi Oida's journey with Peter Brook's international theatre company. Since joining in 1968, Oida has become a leading member and trainer, sharing his insights into the company's formation, early training, and first decade of work.

This book combines personal story with practical guidance for actors and directors seeking to understand and employ Peter Brook's techniques. Oida recounts the company's first public performance in Iran, their African explorative journey, and productions such as The Ik, The Conference of the Birds, and Timon of Athens, weaving his own experiences as an actor into the narrative.

Through this book, readers gain a unique perspective on the intersection of Eastern and Western culture and practices in theatre, offering valuable insights for anyone interested in the world of international performance.
