(1925-) Internationally renowned English theatre and film director and theorist. His experimental work with classic and new plays, his environmental and site specific experimentations in various parts of the world with his International Centre for Theatre Research in Paris vastly influenced theatre work in the 1970s and later. Brook visited South Africa a few times in the late 1980s and 1990s to cast his company and to work with the [[Market Theatre Laboratory]]. **?? His little book of speeches (''The Open Space'', 1962?*) is one of the most influential of the twentieth century, and inter alia led to the working ethos and name of the [[Space Theatre]] in Cape Town.

In Europe he did some South African work, notably ''Sizwe Banzi est mort'' ( ''[[Sizwe Banzi is Dead]]'' by [[Athol Fugard]], [[John Kani]] and [[Winston Ntshona]], Festival d'Avignon, 2006), [[Can Themba]]'s ''[[The Suit]]'' (called ''Le Costume''), based on [[Barney Simon]]'s [[Market Theatre]] production, repeated in 2011 and then redone in English in London as ''[[The Suit]]''.
