The British actor Bruce Myers, who had accompanied the legendary director Peter Brook in many plays created in France, died in Paris, announced on Wednesday the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord.
"An important figure in the theater has just left us, Bruce Myers, a unique actor, of whom we mourn today," commented Peter Brook, 95, in a press release from this Parisian theater which he brought back to life in the 70's.
Born in 1942 in Radcliffe, England, Bruce Myers, who was also a director, played in many Brook creations, notably in William Shakespeare's plays like "Timon d'Athènes" (1974), "Mesure pour mesure" (1978), "La Tempête" (1990) and "Hamlet" (2000).
He was also one of the interpreters of the famous Brook epic, "Mahâbhârata" (1985), "La Conférence des oiseaux" (1979) and "Je suis une phenomenon" (1998).
