Tip of the Tongue

Tip of the Tongue: Reflections on Language and Meaning

Peter Brook (author)

A thoughtful and deeply personal book by a master theatre-maker.

In Tip of the Tongue, Peter Brook takes a charming, playful and wise look at topics such as the subtle, telling differences between French and English, and the many levels on which we can appreciate the works of Shakespeare. Brook also revisits his seminal concept of the 'empty space', considering how theatre – and the world – have changed over the span of his long and distinguished career.

Threaded throughout with intimate and revealing stories from Brook's own life, Tip of the Tongue is a short but sparkling gift from one of the greatest artists of recent times.

Peter Brook is one of the world's best-known theatre directors. He has been based in France since the early 70s where he established the International Centre of Theatre Research.
