  3. An Oak Tree by Tim Crouch


directed by Joe CanusoPhiladelphia PremiereFebruary 14-March 10Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th Street An Oak Tree is a darkly comic and moving play about loss, the power of suggestion, and the magic of the mind. A parent loses a child, a stage hypnotist loses his mojo, nothing is what it is. Its like they're in a play but they dont know the words. Theatre Exile favorite Pearce Bunting is joined by a new actor each night, who walks on stage having neither seen nor read a word of the play theyre in until theyre in it. A breathtaking performance exploring a unique relationship - between a hypnotist and his subject, between one actor and another, and between an audience and the play itself. It is like watching your own heart being mugged. You know exactly how it is happening, but you still cant prevent it. The Guardian
