LEGENDARY influential director Peter Brook returns to the Barbican with his new play 11 and 12 this week.

Arriving as part of an international tour, the production, which has been produced by CICT/Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, explores an extraordinary conflict in West Africa under French occupation sparked by a dispute over whether a certain prayer should be recited 11 or 12 times.

The play runs from Friday, February 5 to Saturday, February 27. For tickets visit www.barbican.org.uk or call 0845 120 7511
