PENGUIN LITERARY CRITICISM
One of the world's most famous directors gives us the
distillation of his knowledge and experience of the theatre.
He writes freely, but with immense understanding of the
problems facing any presentation of experience in theatrical
terms: his references range from superb productions of great
classics at Stratford-on-Avon to the accidental witnesing of an
impromptu performance in a shattered, starving Hamburg just
after the war.
'Any book by Brook, any summing up by him of his theories and
views about the theatre, must be a considerable event. The Empty
Space is an excellent book: lively, intelligent ... and also
extremely well written, extremely readable'- Martin Esslin in
Plays and Players
This is a brilliant book, and should be read by many besides the
passionate few to whom it will be required reading'- W.A.
Darlington in the Daily Telegraph
