The hugely influential classic of theater writing—now available for the first time as an audiobook, read by award-winning actor Adrian Lester.

Peter Brook's seminal book, The Empty Space, sets out many of the ideas about theater which have informed his lifelong work as a theater director, from his iconic "white box" production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and his groundbreaking adaptation of The Mahabharata, to his ongoing work at the International Centre for Theatre Research.

More than 50 years on from its first publication in 1968, The Empty Space remains a cornerstone of thinking about theater. Written with refreshing clarity, and full of personal insights, it sets out Brook's influential concept of the four different types of theater—the deadly theater, the holy theater, the rough theater, and the immediate theater—and investigates the evolution of theatrical ideas, from Stanislavsky and method acting to Brecht and happenings, as well as examining different ways of playing Shakespeare.

Read by Adrian Lester—who played the title role in Brook's acclaimed production of Hamlet in Paris, London, and New York—this new unabridged audiobook of The Empty Space will continue to inspire and instruct new generations of theater-makers everywhere.

The director they call god has written an earthly text about playing a play. It is great to get some insight into his thinking. I love the Shakespeare examples. His Hamlet Adrian Lester reads with an urgency that makes all the words a matter of life and death.

The empty space is full of meaning
