Do you know what it is like to catch a fish? The feel of the rod jerking in your hands, your heart beating into your cheeks, to pull it from the river bed. Hold it in both hands and then suddenly it's gone. You'll spend a lifetime trying to catch it again. The River tells the story of a man and a woman, on a moonless night, in a remote cabin on the cliffs. This simple, beautiful story of heartbreak and love is about a man trying to catch his glimmering girl. Part of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Graduate Director's Season. Running time: 1hr 15mins.
