Description
Elysium Theatre Company presents the North East Premiere of
THE RIVER by Jez Butterworth
with Danny Solomon as The Man, Hannah Ellis Ryan (Coronation St) as the Woman, Lois Mackie as The Other Woman & Amy Gavin (Suffragettes) as Another Woman
“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.
This will be the first time THE RIVER will be performed in the North East since its premiere in 2012.
Come and see theatre history in the making.
