An Oak Tree is a two-hander, with the Hypnotist being played by Tim Crouch. The Father, however, is played by a different guest actor at each performance. They walk on stage having neither seen nor read a word of the play they’re in… until they’re in it. This is a breath-taking projection of a performance, given from one actor to another, from a hypnotist to their subject, from an audience to a person. an oak tree is a bold and absurdly comic new play about loss, suggestion and the power of the mind.

This was an adaptation of Romeo & Juliet that took place entirely within the basement bar at J.W. Sweetman (now J.R. Mahon's) on Burgh Quay. Some friends of mine from Bow Street were in the cast. Scenes from the play began spontaneously throughout the location, and the audience was free to move about and sit/stand wherever they liked. All of the action of the play was compressed and restricted to a single location, so the entire story played out in real-time, with actors emerging from the audience and reintegrating back into it when not required by the current scene.
