Brook, who had lived in France since the early 1970s, won multiple awards including Tonys, Emmys and an Olivier across his seven-decade career in the arts.The Le Monde newspaper said he died in Paris on Saturday.
Brook was born in Chiswick, west London, on March 21 1925 to Lithuanian Jewish parents and attended Westminster School followed by Oxford University.Between 1947 and 1950, he served as director of productions at the Royal Opera House, where he staged an experimental and headline-making version of Richard Strauss's Salome with sets by Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali.
In 1970, Brook moved to Paris, where he set up the International Centre for Theatre Research, which travelled widely in the Middle East and Africa as part of a three-year "pilgrimage".Four years later he reopened a partially derelict theatre, Bouffes du Nord, close to the French capital's central Gare du Nord station and transformed it into the new home of the ICTR.
