Notes From an Assistant is an informal and personal documentary on legendary theater and film director Peter Brook during the last years of his life from the perspective of his assistant director. Composed of diary entries, show notes, and different discarded elements, the film intertwines Super-8 footage from the 2019 world tour of Brook’s last original play, unseen outtakes from a documentary made with Brook in 1973, and an interview with him in his Parisian apartment months before his death. Through this tender and unofficial portrait, this film searches for an answer to how his theater was created and what lingers on after a show is finished.
