Peter Brook March 21, 1925, Chiswick
Reality' is a word with many meanings.
Born in London, Peter Brook was educated at Westminster, and Magdalen College Oxford. He has staged numerous productions for Birmingham Rep, Stratford Upon Avon and Broadway. In 1962 he was appointed Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, a position he held for 2 decades.
Brook's theatre is a cleansing fire
involving the spirit not just the mind and body. Esoteric communal activity. He's putting forth the idea that we only get that from theatre and no other art.

It's our duty as a society to give people a hunger for art to the point where they see it necessary for life itself. Living theatre has the ability to transform life through starling images and a blend of the real and spiritual.
He said that Deadly theatre is only commercial theatre that kills true art form or is deadly boring and doesn't make audience think.
Brook was always about the psychophisical and doing minimal on stage.

Holy theatre
Why do we still need theatre (an ancient art form) in modern day?
