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 first time since the accident, these two men meet, when the father volunteers for the hypnotist's act...
an oak tree is a remarkable new play for two actors. Tim Crouch plays the Hypnotist. The Father, however, is played by a different actor - male or female - at each and every performance. They walk on stage having neither seen nor read a word of the play they're in….until they're in it. This is breath-taking projection of performance, given from one actor to another, from a hypnotist to a subject, from an audience to a person.
