In this groundbreaking audiobook, acclaimed actor Adrian Lester reads Peter Brook's influential work, The Empty Space, which has profoundly shaped contemporary theater thought since its original publication in 1968. Brook explores his concept of four theater types—deadly, holy, rough, and immediate—and delves into the evolution of theatrical practices, touching on significant figures from Stanislavsky to Brecht. With its clear writing and personal insights, this unabridged edition serves as both inspiration and instruction for theater-makers today.
