An Oak Tree
Event has passed
When I say sleep, you’re free again.
In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Olivier Award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer presents Tim Crouch’s groundbreaking An Oak Tree, one of the most influential new plays of our time.
A father loses his daughter in a car accident. The driver of the car that killed her is a stage hypnotist. The two men meet for the first time when the father volunteers for the hypnotist’s act. What follows is a live theatrical experience like no other - a bold and absurdly comic story of loss, suggestion and the power of the mind.
At each performance, Tim Crouch will be joined by a different guest artist, who will have neither seen nor read a single word of the play - until they're in it. Guest artists will be revealed to audiences live on the night.
