Review: AN OAK TREE at Young Vic

AN OAK TREETim Crouch has dusted off his 1hr 15min scripted play from 2005 in which the novelty unknown is a different celebrity on stage with him at each performance. With only an hour beforehand to become acquainted with the premise and format, each willing victim in this exercise, submits themselves entirely to Crouch’s direction of their onstage movements and dialogue. It’s an extreme trust exercise and not everyone will reach the end unscathed.

Review: FAYGELE at Marylebone Theatre

On his thirteeenth birthday, a young Orthodox Jew realises that he is gay but is rebuked by his father as an embarrassment when he effeminately crosses his legs for a photograph during his bar mitzvah celebrations. The FAYGELE of the title, is Yiddish for a little bird, but is more commonly used as a slur which loosely translates as faggot.
