One of the big hits of the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe, Tim Crouch’s The Author, is being staged at the North Wall Arts Centre, in Summertown, next Friday and Saturday (September 24 and 25).

The play — which has just won The Total Theatre award for innovation — is about our responsibilities as spectators and the harm carried out in the name of art.

Performed within its audience, it tells the story of another play: a shocking and abusive play written by a playwright called Tim Crouch, who oversteps the line.
