peter brooks-existential or nihilistic? (1 Viewer)

[s.m.i.t.h]

the b&w video version of King lear that peter brook did
is this existential or nihilistic?

 

[nickw...]

Definitely existential i thought. What other reading are you doing? What scenes are you preparing?

I'm doing eyre' and brooks, and atm have only really prepped scene 1/act1

I'm doing Brooks and Eyre-- I don't really know how to link them though. I have my Family-Drama reading but I don't have much information on existentialist readings. Do you know any ways in which I could make those 2 readings and productions work?
