Peter Brook on Samuel Beckett
With his characteristic theatrical alchemy, Peter Brook stages a quintet of works by preeminent playwright Samuel Beckett—Rough for Theatre I, Rockaby, Act Without Words II, Neither, and Come and Go in the ArtsEmerson Theater of Boston.
Brook’s long awaited vision of Beckett’s FRAGMENTS illuminates the comedy and courage in Beckett’s characters who dare to face the void. Featuring renowned international artists Hayley Carmichael, Yoshi Oida, and Bruce Myers, Brook and his actors plumb the depths of Beckett’s sparse, dynamic texts, revealing humor and humanity.
