Somewhere . . . at some time . . . Peter Brook somehow lost the essential thread of things.

Hard to say now whether he was never really capable of realizing it . . . or whether he betrayed that capability.

@greenrate Your grammar offends me. Especially when you are trying to sound clever.

[greenrate]

@chelios58 Geeez. Why are you so easily offended? Do you go around looking to be offended?

@greenrate Please define the "essential thread of things" and explain how he "somehow lost" it.

@Brianjonestown

The "essential thread" is just the nature of what underlies our everyday experience and connects it to its ultimate source, purpose, and meaning.

Sometimes in his career . . . Brook seems to be intentionally cultivating that inner source.

But other times . . . he seems to be distracted by outer forms that are only superficially & remotely connected to it.

He doesn't appear to have the capacity to tell the difference. He doesn't seem to know what he's doing . . .
