An Oak Tree (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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.

Autorenporträt

Tim Crouch is a UK theatre artist based in Brighton. He writes plays, performs in them and takes responsibility for their production. He started to make his own work in 2003. Before then he was an actor.

Tim works with a number of associates and collaborators to produce his writing. There isn't a company structure; things and people are brought together when they are needed. The starting process has always been a text written by Crouch. Early work was made in response to a self-generated impulse to tell a story or explore a form. This impulse is still the first motivation but, lately, it's become slightly more formalized through the involvement of various commissioning theatres and organizations. Tim's work tours extensively to UK and international venues and festivals.
