Francesca Moody Productions announced the initial roster of guest performers for Tim Crouch’s “An Oak Tree” during its engagement at The Other Palace in London. The production runs from Oct. 7 through Nov. 15, with performances featuring Crouch alongside a different actor for each show.
The announced guest performers include Sacha Dhawan, Gemma Whelan, Bessie Carter, Rosalie Craig, Hammed Animashaun, George Fouracres, Clare Perkins, and Tom Mothersdale. Each performer will appear in a single performance, with none of the guest actors reading or rehearsing the script in advance. The performance schedule places Craig on Oct. 9, Perkins on Oct. 13, Mothersdale on Oct. 14, Whelan on Oct. 15, Carter on Oct. 16, Dhawan on Oct. 23, Animashaun on Oct. 29, and Fouracres on Nov. 10.
The guest performers bring varied credits from television and stage. Craig was recently seen in BBC One’s “Riot Women” and received an Olivier nomination for “The Light Princess.” Whelan is known for her role in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and appears in ITV’s “The Tower.” Carter currently plays Nancy Mitford in BritBox’s “Outrageous” and previously appeared in Netflix’s “Bridgerton.” Dhawan has been cast in Netflix’s “Extraction” and plays the Master in BBC One’s “Doctor Who.”
“An Oak Tree,” which premiered in 2005, has been performed hundreds of times across more than 19 countries over two decades, involving more than 350 guest artists. Past performers have included Frances McDormand, Geoffrey Rush, Peter Dinklage, David Tennant, Jessie Buckley, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The run is part of a broader Francesca Moody Productions season at The Other Palace spanning Oct. 5, 2026 through Jan. 10, 2027, featuring three productions that originated at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
