Based on a talk given by Brook in Berlin, this text addresses questions about performing Shakespeare today, including: why is Shakespeare not out of date?; what do we mean by Shakespeare's "genius", "creativity" or "poetry"?; what, in fact, is the Shakespeare phenomenon? Brook invites the reader to consider the actual conditions of Elizabethan theatre and the actual qualities of Shakespeare's language.
