From Theatre and Everyday Life, director Peter Brook claims he can
take any empty space and call it a bare stage. The problem is that
those responsible for theatre have wilfully disregarded the fact
that there is no such thing as empty space. They have been
surprised, mystified, and sometimes dismissive when people who
inhabit that space have a point of view concerning the theatre's
arrival. Alan Read asserts that there is no split between the
practice and theory of theatre, only a divide between the written
and the unwritten. In Theatre and Everyday Life, he sets out to
retrieve the theatre of spontaneity and tactics, which grows out of
the experience of everyday life. It is a theatre which defines
itself in terms of people and places rather than the idealized
empty space of avantgarde performance. In a synthesis of theatre
aesthetics and postmodern philosophy, Read examines the
relationship between an ethics of performance, a politics of place
and a poetics of the urban environment.
