All people on Theater →Peter Brook
British theatre director who founded the International Centre for Theatre Research in Paris in 1970 and ran it for four decades. The Empty Space (1968) condensed his theory of theatre — Deadly, Holy, Rough, Immediate — into a slim volume still on every drama-school syllabus.
William Shakespeare
English playwright and shareholder in the Lord Chamberlain's Men, working in London between roughly 1590 and 1613. Wrote 39 plays and 154 sonnets that have set the working vocabulary of English literature ever since.
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. — William Shakespeare — As You Like It
