The thing that I have a horror of is ideological theatre – Shakespeare never told us how to think. Peter Brook Read Quote
That, for me, is the only real legacy: the idea that one has left a lingering trace in people’s memories. In the end, that’s all a director can hope to do. Peter Brook Read Quote
It’s easy to give up, and that’s the one thing we cannot do. That’s what gives me a reason for working: to leave people with a little more courage, with a little hope that has been nourished. Even if, of course, it’s going to disappear, whatever touches one isn’t lost forever. Peter Brook Read Quote
Every form of theatre has something in common with a visit to the doctor. On the way out, one should always feel better than on the way in. Peter Brook Read Quote
