The River by Jez Butterworth (Drama)

In Jez Butterworth’s haunting drama The River, a solitary man invites a woman to a remote riverside cabin for a night of fishing, but as the evening unfolds, reality blurs—one woman vanishes, another takes her place, and patterns of love and longing repeat in mysterious cycles. Set against the isolation of the cabin and the lure of the river, this taut, poetic piece weaves intimacy, memory, and suspense into an enigmatic puzzle of connection and loss.
