Description
Using Oliver Sacks' neurological study "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" as its inspirartion, "The Man Who" offers a series of doctor/patient scenarios that examine our attempts to understand the workings of the brain. In turn, these case studies become Brook's starting point in his search for a new theatre form.
