BBC Radio 4 - Peter Brook

Glenda Jackson's exclusive interview with world famous theatre director Peter Brook.

Peter Brook died on 2 July 2022, aged 97, after a prolific career spanning more than six decades. Glenda Jackson featured in several of his landmark productions.

This intimate and personal look at Peter Brook's theatre work is in conversation with Glenda Jackson and was recorded just a year before his death.    With landmark productions that changed the face of British theatre, such as the electrifying Marat Sade and the liberating, landmark acrobatic production of Midsummer Night's Dream, and since moving to Paris, internationally renowned The Mahabharata, this is a moving tribute to a world class director.
