Book excerpt: What quality of space can foster the 'rising to another level' which is the ultimate aim of theatre? How can one overcome the obstacles -- cultural, spatial, material, technical -- which impede the sharing of experience which is the unique prerogative of performance? Peter Brook has consciously engaged these questions since turning his back on conventional theatre buildings in the late 1960s. This book tells the story of the journey of exploration into the fundamental character of theatre space he has undertaken with his collaborators over the last thirty years.
