PARIS, July 4 — The France-based British theatre director Peter Brook, who revolutionised the stage with radical interpretations of the classics before returning drama to its simplest roots, has died aged 97, a source said yesterday.

Brook rose to fame in the UK as a young director who put a radical, and sometimes bloody, spin on classics including the works of Shakespeare, working with actors who would later become themselves legends. A statement from French President Emmanuel Macron’s office he and his wife saluted “an extraordinary director who extracted the quintessence of theatre and pushed it beyond its three walls”.
