Peter Brook brings his acclaimed production of Beckett's Oh Les
Beaux Jours to Britain. Hermione Lee talks to Brook about the play, originally written in English as Happy Days, in which his wife Natasha Parry takes the part of Winnie, buried up to her waist and then up to her neck in sand. She also talks to directors and critics about the influence of Brook's productions, from his ground-breaking work with the RSC in the fifties to his epic production of the Mahabharata and his current work in France.
