AN OAK TREE - National Theatre
Tim Crouch's ground-breaking production is receiving a 10-year revival at the National Theatre's Temporary Theatre on London's Southbank.
The show famously stars Tim and a different actor on stage with him every night, who has neither seen nor read the play before they step on stage and are actually in it!
Breaking box office records during its original London run at the Soho Theatre, AN OAK TREE has received multiple awards and toured internationally. Previous second actors have included Sophie Okonedo, David Harewood, Christopher Eccleston, Mike Myers, Frances McDormand, David Morrissey, Gina McKee, and Kwame Kwei-Armah.
The show runs until Wednesday 15th July and has included UA’s Maggie Service as one of the second performers. Tickets can be bought here.
