Recenzja książki Petera Brooka «Wolność i łaska: Rozważania o Szekspirze»
Abstrak
A book review of the Polish translation of The Quality of Mercy: Reflections on Shakespeare by Peter Brook. The reviewer thoroughly, chapter after chapter, follows the director’s argument, analysing his reflexions. He emphasises the key questions and problems posed by Brook, who has grappled with Shakespeare’s work and confronted it with real life, the political and social reality, and most of all, with theatrical practice for the last seventy years. The conclusions reached by the author by the end of the book, as brilliant and amazing as they are in their profoundness and simplicity, serve Arkadiusz Rogoziński as a starting point for his own doubts and questions. The review ends with the questions that open up room for further discussion: Is it possible for the theatre of the Christian world to have some other meaning than that invented by the ancient Greeks? Will freedom, mercy, and quality—the Shakespearean terms analysed by Brook in detail—ever be able to replace pity and fear?
