Scottish Premiere
News From Nowhere Presents A Royal Court Theatre Production

THE AUTHOR

By Tim Crouch

I have the choice to continue. I have the choice to stop.

Settle back into the warmth of the theatre. Relax as the story unfolds. Tap your feet to the music, turn to your neighbour. You’re here.

Tim Crouch’s latest play is about the abuse carried out in the name of art. Performed within its audience, it tells the story of another play: a shocking and violent play written by a playwright who oversteps the line. The Author is a highly original and terrifyingly seductive journey into the horror of our mediated world.

The Author sold out when it opened at the Royal Court Theatre in autumn 2009. At the Traverse, the cast is joined by multiple Fringe First award-winner Chris Goode.

Tim Crouch’s previous plays include An Oak Tree (Herald Angel 2005) and ENGLAND(Fringe First, Herald Archangel, Total Theatre Award 2007)

Contains disturbing imagery.
