In 1996, Brook directed and produced her first show, "Beast on the Moon" by Richard Kalinoski, at the Battersea Arts Centre, London. She also directed "Madame Klein" by Nicholas Wright (Watford) and Shakespeare's "All's Well That Ends Well" (Oxford). In 1998, she directed the French version of "Beast on the Moon" at the Théâtre de Vidy-Lausanne and Bobigny, Paris. After several national and international tours, the show returned for a six-month sell-out at the Theâtre de l'Oeuvre, Paris, where it won five Molière theatre awards, including best director and best show. Brook also directed a television version of the play, for which she was awarded the prix Mitrani at the International Festival of Audiovisual Programs (FIPA), a film festival in Biarritz.
