An Oak Tree is part of Francesca Moody Productions new season at The Other Palace, bringing together three extraordinary shows that began life at the Fringe before captivating audiences around the world.
Since its world premiere in 2005, Tim Crouch's An Oak Tree has become one of the most influential and widely celebrated plays of the 21st century, performed hundreds of times in more than 19 countries while continually reinventing itself. A play that shaped the theatre landscape, its groundbreaking premise sees a different guest artist join Crouch for every performance, stepping on stage without ever having read or rehearsed the play. Over the past two decades, more than 350 performers have taken on this extraordinary theatrical challenge, creating a unique event every night and an audience experience like no other.
Constantly evolving while remaining unmistakably itself, An Oak Tree has become a landmark of contemporary theatre - an unforgettable exploration of grief, suggestion and the uniquely live experience of performance.
