Peter Brook, one of the most creative and controversial stage directors of his generation, has died aged 97. A precocious talent, by his mid-20s he had a reputation as the grand old enfant terrible of the British stage. Over the ensuing decades Brook put his stamp on the theatre, breaking many established conventions. His productions, starring some of theatre's most distinguished thespians, both enthralled and shocked audiences. Brook, who had lived in France since 1974, died in Paris on Saturday. The acclaimed stage actress Kathryn Hunter reflects on the life of her friend and long-time collaborator. (Photo: Peter Brook. Photo credit: Getty Images)
