Steven Leigh Morris has written a wonderful article about the LA run of an oak tree. Read on…

• “Its brilliance is unfettered and inexplicably moving, for being such a head-trip.” (LA Weekly, where it’s a Recommended Event).
• “Crouch’s multilayered play is as much a master class in acting as it is an intriguing meta-theatrical exercise.” (LA Times.)

The play runs until February 14 at the Odyssey Theatre, LA. Some very interesting second actors are being lined up….

An Oak Tree Opens at The Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles January 6th-February 14 2010.
