Details

"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."

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 bewitching story from the author of the global smash hits Jerusalem and The Ferryman, Jez Butterworth's play The River was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in October 2012.

It received its Broadway premiere in October 2014, starring Hugh Jackman in the central role.

The River is also available in the volume Jez Butterworth Plays: Two.
