The River

A bewitching play by Jez Butterworth, author of the global smash-hit

Jerusalem. Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2012.On a moonless night in August when the sea trout are ready to run, a man brings his new girlfriend to the remote family cabin where he has come for the fly-fishing since he was a boy. But she's not the only woman he has brought here – or indeed the last…'A delicately unfolding puzzle… all of it is wrapped in marvelous language… extraordinary.'

The Times'One of the best productions of the year… a magnetically eerie, luminously beautiful psychodrama.'

Time Out'Strange, eerie, tense… Butterworth possesses a singular talent.'
