Francesca Moody Productions has announced further casting for Tim Crouch’s An Oak Tree, which continues its run at The Other Palace until 15 November 2026.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential plays of the 21st century, An Oak Tree features a unique theatrical premise in which a different guest artist joins Tim Crouch for every performance, stepping onto the stage without having read or rehearsed the play beforehand.
Newly announced guest artists include Khalid Abdalla, Matthew Baynton, Phoebe Campbell, Caitlin FitzGerald, Jack Holden, Melanie La Barrie and Sid Sagar.
Abdalla will appear on 13 November, Baynton on 28 October, Campbell on 27 October, FitzGerald on 22 October, Holden on 11 November, La Barrie on 24 October and Sagar on 17 October.
They join an extensive line-up of previously announced guest performers including Hammed Animashaun, Bessie Carter, Rosalie Craig, Sacha Dhawan, Dónal Finn, Josh Finan, George Fouracres, Sean Gilder, Brian Gleeson, Suranne Jones, Aysha Kala, Kadiff Kirwan, Adrian Lester, Katie Leung, Sophie Melville, Tom Mothersdale, Clare Perkins, Tanya Reynolds, Hugh Skinner, Reece Shearsmith, Rosie Sheehy, Juliet Stevenson, Rhashan Stone, Gemma Whelan, Olivia Williams and Ria Zmitrowicz.
Since premiering in 2005, An Oak Tree has been performed hundreds of times across more than 19 countries, with over 350 performers taking part in its ever-evolving format.
Previous guest artists have included Frances McDormand, Geoffrey Rush, Peter Dinklage, Mike Myers, David Tennant, Jessie Buckley, Russell Tovey, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss, Sophie Okonedo, Sharon D Clarke, Toby Jones, Meera Syal, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Adjoa Andoh and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The production forms part of Francesca Moody Productions’ season at The Other Palace, alongside Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going to Happen and Garry Starr: Classic Penguins. The season celebrates original works that began life at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before finding acclaim nationally and internationally.
Francesca Moody Productions is known for developing award-winning work including Fleabag and Baby Reindeer, both of which made the journey from stage to critically acclaimed television adaptations.
