THE STORY
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 global smash hit Jerusalem.

PATRON REVIEWS
"The River was excellent; riveting and emotional, for the full run we were completely sucked in and invested in the relationships had by the central characters. The writing was strong, acting was fantastic, and the direction made every moment interesting. If you’re looking for a drama on par with something you’d get at RMTC during the regular season, look no further than this show!"
"We saw The River last night and were awestruck. What an amazing piece of Fringe theatre! The story is riveting and entirely engaging, delivered with awesome atmosphere and superb directing. Wow! The actors performed the imagery-filled, lyrical, poetic script flawlessly, professionally and beautifully. This high quality play kept us on the edge of our seats for the entire performance. What a gem of a play, a real catch! We’re going to see it again. Love it!!"
