The River

Closing: October 27, 2024

The River - West End History , Info & More

Greenwich Theatre
Stockwell Street London

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 – and nor is she the last.

From Mojo to Jerusalem and The Ferryman, Jez Butterworth's plays have won two Olivier Awards, a Tony Award, a Critics Circle Theatre Award, an Evening Standard Theatre Award and more. Now The River, the hotly anticipated follow-up to Jerusalem, returns to London in the first major revival since its world premiere at the Royal Court in 2012.

Review: GERRY & SEWELL, Aldwych Theatre
by Amber-Rae Stobbs - Jan 16, 2026


​Who gets to decide where, or what, ‘home’ is? For many, it’s a place: the town or city you were born in; the destination you’ve always felt drawn to, regardless of the reason; or maybe it’s a building, somewhere you feel your safest. It’s to no one's surprise that when you ask a Geordie where their home is, they will give you one of two answers: “The Toon” or “St James’ Park”. Gerry & Sewell reminds people how important going ‘home’ really is. ​ ​
