Description
Peter Brook's philosophy on acting and theatre is presented in this comprehensive exposition. At its core, it revolves around paradoxes: finding life through art, yet preserving individuality; meticulous preparation followed by surrender to the unknown. Brook shares anecdotes from his extensive career, drawing on his work with Shakespeare, Chekhov, and indigenous theatres of India and Iran. Behind the scenes, he reveals the director's most reliable tool may be boredom, a capacity that allows for innovative approaches. Elegant prose accompanies fresh insights into what happens both onstage and behind the scenes. This book offers an unparalleled look at the intersection of art and life, shedding light on the principles that guide Brook's work.
