Set against the backdrop of an unprecedented theatrical expedition, this true story chronicles Peter Brook's 1972 journey through Africa with a diverse group of actors, including Helen Mirren. The 8,500-mile trek, emerging from Paris to the Sahara desert, symbolizes Brook's quest for artistic renewal. Heilpern's narrative captures the essence of this transformative experience, highlighting the search for the miraculous that permeates Brook's subsequent works, including "Carmen" and "The Mahabharata."
