Where to Sit

The Main House rises steeply from the stage, so the view over the row in front is good from most seats. This is a play about two people talking, so sitting closer lets you watch the guest actor's face as they read what comes next.

What's An Oak Tree About?

A stage hypnotist knocks down and kills a young girl with his car. Her father volunteers for the hypnotist's act, and the two men meet for the first time since the accident.

Tim Crouch plays the hypnotist. The father is played by a guest actor who has never seen the play. They walk on with no rehearsal, and Crouch feeds them the story through the performance, so you watch an actor work it out in front of you.

A Different Actor Every Night

The guest list for this run is long and well known. Juliet Stevenson is in on Sunday 18 October, Adrian Lester on Tuesday 3 November, Reece Shearsmith on Friday 6 November and Suranne Jones on the last night, Sunday 15 November. More names are added as the run goes on, so check the date before you book if you want a particular actor.

Who's An Oak Tree For?

Anyone who likes seeing theatre take a risk, and anyone who wants to catch a favourite actor in a show they can't prepare for. Seventy-five minutes long, it suits an evening before or after dinner in Victoria.

It's recommended for 12 and over. The play deals with the death of a child and with grief, and there is strong language.
