For the first time in living memory, the Queensland Theatre Company have chosen to split their annual season into two very distinct flavours. So far we’ve been enjoying (or not enjoying, depending on your perspective) the productions in their Mainstage Season. These are the crowd pleasers, the ones that your average non-theatre type person will most likely enjoy. But in addition to this, we have a set of plays under the banner “The Studio Season”, which appear to be an attempt to respond to the work of groups like La Boite in producing more dynamic and experimental theatre. This is certainly an approach I applaud, and it was with great anticipation that I recently went and saw Tim Crouch’s An Oak Tree, a play which sold itself on the notion that of the two actors appearing in the show, only one of them would have read the script. So it certainly sounded interesting? But was it? Thankfully, yes.
