For Peter Brook, it has latterly been a simple way of saying complex things. And in this resonant African fable, adapted by Marie-Hélène Estienne from the work of Amadou Hampâté Bâ and here played in English, you see Brook at his best. This is a piece of calm, quiet, meditative theatre that never hectors or raises its voice, but that addresses profound spiritual and political issues… What I admired most was the simple beauty of Brook's staging… What you see on stage is a distillation of a particular world, accomplished by pure craftsmanship. <cite>Michael Billington</cite> Style, for some people, is a complex way of saying simple things.
