Tim Crouch has rightfully established a reputation as one of this country's most progressive and thought-provoking writer/performers. He is interested not just in the felicitous placing of words but how their impact can be manipulated. His plays combine emotionally-charged subject matter with structures that constantly remind the audience of their position outside of the action and their ability to be objective about what they are seeing. His last piece, An Oak Tree, used actors completely unfamiliar with the script to deliver the lines and 'not act' beside him. An Oak Tree has had successful runs Off-Broadway and in London and, like Crouch's previous piece, My Arm, has been translated and performed in several different languages.

Notes: | winner Scotsman Fringe First Award | |||||
| England is a powerful, layered play that explores the significance of institutions: the gallery, the church, the hospital, and the relative values of art and heart. Using multiple voices and a scorching text, the performance surrounds the audience and implicates them in the story. Staged in a gallery space and therefore surrounded by the artefacts of other cultures, the show looks at difference and dislocation and the point at which cultures intersect. | |||||

| an oak tree is the story of two men brought together by loss: a father whose daughter has been killed in a car accident, and the driver of that car-a provincial stage hypnotist. For the father, nothing now is what it was. Since the accident the hypnotists' act is a disaster. For him, everything now is exactly what it is. an oak tree is about the dramatic intertwining of human lives as the man and the hypnotist are reunited for the first time since the accident when the hypnotist inadvertently calls him on stage as a volunteer. The Father, however, is played by a different actor-male or female-at each performance. The second actor walks on stage having neither seen nor read a word of the play they're in. . ..until they're in it. | |||||
