“If you lose me you will search for me. Forever.”
A cabin somewhere in the Tyne Valley. A man brings a woman 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, over and over again?
A love story, a ghost story, a haunting mystery, The River is a drama about desire and longing that you will never forget.
Jez Butterworth is the award-winning author of Mojo, Jerusalem and The Ferryman, all of which played in London’s West End and Broadway in New York. He also co-wrote the smash-hit Sci-Fi movie The Edge Of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, and the TV series Britannia.
