From multi-award winning playwright/actor Tim Crouch.
Tim Crouch is a UK theatre artist based in Brighton. He writes
plays, performs in them and takes responsibility for their
production. He started to make his own work in 2003. Before then he
was an actor.
Tim works with a number of associates and collaborators to produce
his writing. There isn’t a company structure; things and people are
brought together when they are needed. The starting process has
always been a text written by Crouch. Early work was made in
response to a self-generated impulse to tell a story or explore a
form. This impulse is still the first motivation but, lately, it’s
become slightly more formalized through the involvement of various
commissioning theatres and organizations. Tim’s work tours
extensively to UK and international venues and festivals.

"Compellingly idiosyncratic portraits of four of Shakespeare's
characters... Crouch's drama becomes a provocative examination of
the voyeuristic nature of the art form... They left me wanting more
I, Shakespeares." - Around the Globe
