An Oak Tree

Perth Theatre Company is proud to present Tim Crouch's amazing work An Oak Tree.
As much about the process of acting and art as it is about entertaining our audiences, this text provides many challenges to both the main performer, Luke Hewitt, the director, Lawrie Cullen-Tait and the 23 guest performers used throughout the season.
This page is a collection of thoughts, responses, critiques and provocations that arise throughout this plays premiere Western Australian Season.

We have invited everyone associated with the show to contribute - both before and after their performances - to run an ongoing discussion.

"An Oak Tree is a fun and thought-provoking exploration of the power of suggestion and a genuinely nerve-racking experience for the audience and each mystery 'second actor'."
Ali Taulbut, The West Australian
"It is a daring play that takes every convention of theatre – role play, the suspension of disbelief, fantastical illusions and projected emotions – and turns the whole theatrical artifice on its head to create new, fresh and unconventional moments."
Sarah McNeill, Post Newspapers

"If you’re looking for something a little bit different, something that challenges the conventions of traditional theatre, then this could be the show for you."
Hayley Mayne, Australian Stage Online
