Theatrical giant Peter Brook (pictured), legendary author of the 1968 seminal text on theatre, The Empty Space, created this adaptation of a chapter in Dostoevsky's book, The Brothers Karamazov.

Set in Seville during the Spanish Inquisition, the one-man show, starring Bruce Myers, depicts the moment when Christ returns to Earth in human form and is arrested.

The only speaking part, The Grand Inquisitor, is convinced Christ made a grave mistake when he gave man the power of free thought. He furiously quizzes him but at the end of the performance a wordless Christ simply plants a kiss on the old man's cheek.

The meaning of this symbolic gesture has been widely debated but Peter Brook finds it relevant to theatre itself. He says: "Christ declining to enter into debate shows the answer is not discussion but direct experience, and that is something theatre can offer."

Born in 1925, Peter Brook's first ambition was to be a film director. Impatient and eager, he did not want to serve a long apprenticeship and instead fell into theatre. He quickly became known as one of the most influential directors to emerge from the Second World War and directed a string of successful productions.

He was also appointed co-director of the newly-formed Royal Shakespeare Company in 1962. Despite his formidable standing here, Peter Brook left England in the Seventies to live in France, where he set up Theatre Des Bouffes Nord in Paris, which is still going strong today, and is responsible for this latest production.
