An Oak Tree

About this book

An Oak Tree is a bold, absurdist, comic play for two actors—one of them different at each performance—about loss, suggestion, and the power of the mind. This Student Edition is published with commentary and notes by Seda Ilter, which explore Tim Crouch's notion of audience and their role in theatre; possibilities of transformation and the role of visual art in theatre; the implosion of the real and fictional; and the liminal dramaturgy of Crouch's plays; as well as how this experimental play works in performance. The edition also includes an interview with Tim Crouch, which sheds further light on his philosophy and process.
