In.Brook, however, is unable to offer any resolution. Peter Brook In a reaction to Realism, some artists like Peter Brook or the Living Theatre, deemphasized the realism of theatre. He has spoken of the theater as an empty space.
It was Shakespeare’s perception that language is metaphor, that we understand one thing in terms of another. In 1970, director Peter Brook boldly reimagined Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream, doing away with a conventional pastoral setting in favour of a brightly lit white box. Making sense of confusion is a matter of practicalities, of experiment in the living world of theater. In his book “The Empty Space”, Brook starts by describing theatre as simple as the action of “a man who walks across an empty space whilst someone else is watching him”.

That space he can occupy with performance. Giving a lecture, Brook once had the unexpected luck to find a member of the audience with no knowledge of.What the audience member achieved naturally the actor playing Lear’s daughter must seek to portray by the deliberate artifice of acting. That effect is then lost and must be rediscovered in the painstaking rehearsal process.
There is nothing decorous or grand in the theater of Peter Brook. The director himself demanded the best of others as he did of himself. Peter Brook explains the "Deadly theatre" like theatre of dullness.
It follows from this that there is danger within the charms. He produced on time exactly what Brook wished for.
As the name suggests, it was a theatre that took risks in a society suspicious even at the best of times of all those who took risks. Performance is a two-way process. He calls this the “Dead Theatre.” This type of theatre distracts the reader from seeing the playwright’s overall message: “It is not as though fifty years ago one type of theatre was in vogue while today the author who feels the ‘pulse of the public’ can find his way to the new idiom” (37).
The problem Brook faces is that his vision of performance is that of the creative auteur. Instead, they preferred to emphasize the communication between the actors and the audience. It is at this very point that his close friend Krishna – said to be an avatar of the great god Vishnu – who is serving as his chariot driver, lovingly chides him for this shameful turn of poise, and leads him inwards to the truth of his destiny. I have seen Brook deeply contemptuous of an interviewer who was, he said, making the questions too easy. Brook has been influenced by the work of Antonin Artaud and his ideas for his Theatre of Cruelty. It is Brook’s perception that we understand through a language that is beyond words.
