My Arm is the story of a man who has lived for thirty years with one arm raised above his head. Told with all the authenticity and detail of an autobiography, it is a totally honest and convincing piece of theatre. Performed live by Tim Crouch—largely through the animation of everyday objects supplied by the audience and with sequences of film commissioned by Chris Dorley-Brown—My Arm is a study of bloody-mindedness, modern art, and how the things we do when we’re ten stick with us for life.

 

Tim Crouch’s plays include the Obie award–winning An Oak Tree; his play for galleries, ENGLAND; The Author, winner of the John Whiting award for best new play in 2010; what happens to the hope at the end of the evening (with Andy Smith); Adler & Gibb for the Royal Court; Total Immediate Collective Imminent Terrestrial Salvation (National Theatre of Scotland); Truth’s a Dog Must to Kennel (Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh); and Toto Kerblammo! (Unicorn Theatre, London). Crouch tours his work nationally and internationally. He also writes for younger audiences. A series of plays inspired by Shakespeare’s lesser characters includes I, Malvolio and I, Peaseblossom. For the Royal Shakespeare Company, Crouch has directed The Taming of the Shrew; King Lear; and I, Cinna (the poet)—all for young audiences. Other directing credits include Jeramee, Hartleby and Oooglemore for the Unicorn Theatre and The Complete Deaths for Spymonkey. Crouch is published by Methuen Books.
