Peter Brook has died

[Ian H]

One of the great theatre directors.

In 1974, he turned a neglected music hall situated behind the Gare du Nord station into an essential destination for theatre lovers: the Bouffes du Nord. The dilapidated building had only minimal refurbishment so its walls remained as scorched as when Brook found them. He opened the theatre with a production of Timon of Athens and the applause brought down bits of the ceiling.

A real trail blazing director. Quietly reported in the media here, maybe because he moved to France. He’ll be mainly remembered here for Lord of the Flies. Write up here on the Beeb:
