Endlessly curious about the possibilities of stage and audience, Tim Crouch is not just a superlative actor. He is perhaps one of the most influential experimental playwrights working in the English language today. His Obie- and Fringe First Award-winning work of the last decade includes the polarizing Royal Court production, The Author, as well as An Oak Tree, which casts a new actor in its central role every night.
The secret of Crouch’s impact is his insistence that the most interesting effect of theatre occurs in the minds of the audience, in the collective capacity for imagination. My Arm, his first play, is the story of a man who has lived for thirty years with one arm above his head, told with all the authenticity and detail of a first-person autobiography. Performing this important production for the first time in North America in almost ten years, Crouch leaves his arms casually by his sides.
