A remote cabin on the cliffs, a man and a woman, and a moonless night ...
"At dawn I went back to the river, and I took off my clothes and dived in the freezing water. I searched and searched but it was gone. But when I surfaced, I was holding something. Something else"
The River is a bewitching new play from the critically acclaimed author of Jerusalem

" ... a piece of gorgeously sensitive writing, utterly beguiling in its subtle deconstruction of the way we conduct ourselves in relationships - the facades erected, the lies told, the declarations made, the pasts conveniently ignored ... a play of luminous beauty, hauntingly affecting" ~ oughttobeclowns.com
