Peter Brook’s “Battlefield” at Kennedy Center
"Battlefield" is a revised and extended excerpt from a sweeping epic poem of ancient India
Legendary director Peter Brook takes subject matter from his landmark 1985 production of The Mahabharata for this work, presented as part of a Kennedy Center series highlighting five internationally acclaimed theater directors.
Battlefield is a revised and extended excerpt from the sweeping epic poem of ancient India. The focus is on a new and untested king who must face the devastation he has caused as his world crumbles around him and his people.
