Since 1967, European theatre has been dominated by the influence of Peter Stein , whose productions of Brecht, Ibsen, Gorky, Shakespeare and others have won universal acclaim.
His work has been characterised by social and psychological insight, a compelling fusion of symbolism and realism. Michael Billington examines the career of this visionary talent, talks to him on the set of his latest work and discusses his achievements in conversation with Bruno Ganz , Sam Mendes , biographer Michael Patterson , Brian McMaster , and Carlo Rizzi and Anthony Freud of Welsh National Opera.
