A North East premiere, and the first time it has been performed in the UK since its 2012 debut in London.
A cabin somewhere in the English countryside. A man brings a woman there for a romantic weekend, to get close to nature and experience the wonder of the River. But is there one woman or many?
Is he just a womaniser or is he seeking the woman he has always loved?
A love story, a ghost story; intimate and beautiful, poetic and haunting, it will stay in your mind forever.
Directed by Jake Murray, with Danny Solomon & Hannah Ellis Ryan, and presented by Durham-based Elysium Theatre Company, The River is the play that followed Jez Butterworth’s global smash, Jerusalem, which transferred to Broadway after a sell-out run in London.
Presented by Elysium Theatre Company and written by by Jez Butterworth.
