Further guest casting announced for 'An Oak Tree', including Jessie Buckley and Adjoa Andoh

Since its premiere in 2005, over 350 different guest artists have appeared in An Oak Tree, including Frances McDormand, Geoffrey Rush, and Sharon D Clarke.

Further guests have been added to the line-up for Tim Crouch's An Oak Tree at the Young Vic in London. The production has also extended performances, and will now play through 24 May.

Performing alongside Crouch on different dates in the run are Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton, Richard II) Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter, Cabaret), Arthur Darvill (Broadchurch, Oklahoma!) Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen, The Motive and the Cue), Julie Hesmondhalgh (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Punch), and Alex Lawther (The End of the F---ing World, Black Mirror).

They join the previously announced Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù (Gangs of London, Slow Horses), Michelle Terry (Tribes, The Cafe), Luke Thompson (Bridgerton, A Little Life), Russell Tovey (Being Human, American Horror Story: NYC) and Indira Varma (Game of Thrones, Present Laughter). Each guest artist will only be revealed to audiences live on the night.

Remaining artists will be announced shortly.

Celebrating 20 years, the play is a bold, absurdly comic, and profoundly moving story of loss, suggestion, and the power of the mind. In every performance, a new guest artist will step on to the stage, having never seen, read or rehearsed the play before.

Since its premiere in 2005, over 350 different guest artists have appeared in the show, including Frances McDormand, Geoffrey Rush, Sharon D Clarke, Alanis Morrissette, Sophie Okonedo and Peter Dinklage.
