An Oak Tree by Tim Crouch

"An Oak Tree" is a unique and avant-garde play that explores themes of loss, perception, and the power of suggestion through an unconventional narrative structure. The story revolves around two main characters: a hypnotist who is grappling with the guilt of having accidentally killed a girl with his car, and the girl's father, who is seeking closure. In a compelling twist, the father is played by a different actor in each performance, who has not seen the script and is guided through the play by the hypnotist. This innovative approach results in a dynamic and interactive theatrical experience that challenges the audience's understanding of reality and fiction, as the lines between actor and character, and between the play and the play within the play, become intriguingly blurred.
