    Quick Review: Peter Brook’s THE SUIT in Philly & Brûlée Catering

    The Prince Music Theater (15th & Chestnut) presents Tony Award-winning director, Peter Brook’s production of The Suit running February 26 thru March 8, 2014.   When I did a Wiki on Brook, I was blown away by this man’s prolific career in the theater.
