Publisher's Synopsis
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 a 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.
