Adapted from a series of four lectures, originally delivered as the first of the Granada Northern Lectures Peter Brook's The Empty Space is an exploration of four aspects of theatre, 'Deadly, Holy, Rough and Immediate', published in Penguin Modern Classics.
'I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage'
In The Empty Space, groundbreaking director Peter Brook draws on a life in love with the stage to explore the issues facing any theatrical performance. Here he describes important developments in theatre from the last century, as well as smaller scale events, from productions by Stanislavsky to the rise of Method Acting, from Brecht's revolutionary alienation technique to the free form Happenings of the 1960s, and from the different styles of such great Shakespearean actors as John Gielgud and Paul Scofield to a joyous impromptu performance in the burnt-out shell of the Hamburg Opera just after the war. Passionate, unconventional and fascinating, his book shows how theatre defies rules, builds and shatters illusions and creates lasting memories for its audiences.
Peter Stephen Paul Brook CH CBE (b. 1925) is a highly influential British theatrical producer and director. During the 1950s he worked on many productions in Britain, Europe, and the USA, and in 1962 returned to Stratford-upon-Avon to join the newly established Royal Shakespeare Company. Throughout the next the 1960's he directed many ground breaking productions for the RSC before in 1970 forming The International Centre for Theatre Research in Paris.
If you enjoyed The Empty Space, you might like John Berger's Ways of Seeing, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
'A brilliant book ... should be read by the many besides the passionate few to whom it will be required reading'

'A brilliant book ... should be read by the many besides the passionate few to whom it will be required reading'
Daily Telegraph
"Peter Brook speaks of the theater of the past and the present, of its changes, of its various forms, of what he has seen and sees and of his own work. He speaks with the eloquence, and with the excitement of the explorer finding his way into a vast unknown but, he believes, knowable world...The Empty Space is a brilliantly written, even ecstatic book, full of information of the world's theater and of this ecstatic book, full of information of the world's theater and of this leading worker in the theater." -Herman Shumlin, Chicago Sun-Times
"Peter Brook has written a book that is really about the theater. When he speaks about himself, it is with a view to impart ideas pertinent to craftsmen, serious playgoers and critics alike...What I treasure most in the book is that it always harks back to the artistic, social psychological, practical bases of the theater as a concern of cultural significance." -Harold Clurman, The New York Times Book Review
"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, The Daily Telegraph (London)
"Theatergoers who care about the nature and destination of contemporary drama will be drawn to The Empty Space with ravenous interest." -Time
"The parts of the book which I enjoyed without reservation were Brook's brief but marvelous analyses of Shakespeare's King Lear and Measure for Measure, two plays of which he has made outstandingly the best production of our day." -Tyrone Guthrie, The Minneapolis Star
"A classic...a hugely influential analysis of the problems confronting contemporary theatre. It's a powerful expression of the belief that it is performance, not a play text in the abstract, that is the essence of stage art." -Paul Taylor, The Independent
"Since there is no one on the theatrical scene quite like Brook, there is no other book quite like this one. A must for any and every college library." -Choice
"Kein Regisseur hat das moderne Theater in Westeuropa stärker beeinflußt als Peter Brook, die Spuren seiner Theaterarbeit lassen sich mühelos in die Gegenwart verfolgen. Beharrlich hat er sich dem Theaterbetrieb mit seiner eingefahrenen Rhetorik widersetzt und statt dessen die Unberechenbarkeit des Theaterereignisses betont. 'Die Wahrheit im Theater ist immer auf Wanderschaft', schrieb der Regisseur vor 20 Jahren in 'Der leere Raum' - noch immer ein Klassiker der Theaterliteratur." (Rolf Suhl, Szene)
"Kaum ein anderes Buch hat für das Theater ähnliche Bedeutung erlangt; oft wird es als eine der Schriften zum Theater überhaupt bezeichnet." (Uwe Richterich, Diskurs)
