An Oak Tree
About this book
When I say sleep, you're free again. A man loses his daughter to a car accident. Nothing now is what it seems. It's like he's in a play - but he doesn't know the words or the moves. Tim Crouch's critically acclaimed play playfully pushes the limits of theatre: a two-hander, where one of the actors walk on stage having neither seen nor read a word of the play they're in… until they're in it. Shockingly moving, An Oak Tree questions how we perform … and whether we know our lines. This edition was published to coincide with the runs at Avignon Festival, France, in July 2023, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, in August 2023.
