Francesca Moody Productions has unveiled the first wave of guest performers joining Tim Crouch’s “An Oak Tree” for its run at The Other Palace in London, with Sacha Dhawan, Gemma Whelan, Bessie Carter, Rosalie Craig, Hammed Animashaun, George Fouracres, Clare Perkins and Tom Mothersdale each taking on a single performance.
Crouch performs alongside a different second actor at every show, none of whom read or rehearse the script in advance. “An Oak Tree” runs at The Other Palace from Oct. 7 through Nov. 15.
The schedule of guest performers, in order, runs as follows: Craig on Oct. 9, Perkins on Oct. 13, Mothersdale on Oct. 14, Whelan on Oct. 15, Carter on Oct. 16, Dhawan on Oct. 23, Animashaun on Oct. 29 and Fouracres on Nov. 10.
Craig recently starred as Kitty Eckersley in Sally Wainwright’s “Riot Women” for BBC One and earned an Olivier nomination for “The Light Princess” at the National Theatre. Perkins appeared in Indhu Rubasingham’s “Bacchae” at the National Theatre and starred opposite Sadie Sink in “Romeo & Juliet” in the West End. Mothersdale’s stage credits include “A Doll’s House” and “Oil” at the Almeida Theatre, while his television work spans “Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light” and “Peaky Blinders.”
