The River (Hugh Jackman)

Jez Butterworth’s brilliant contemporary dramatic mystery 'The River' arrived at the Circle in the Square Theatre in 2014, completing a triumphant, record-shattering sold-out limited Broadway engagement under the banner of producer Sonia Friedman. The real-time, textually rich psychological thriller unfolds entirely inside a remote, claustrophobic fishing cabin in the woods over a sweltering, moonless night, tracking an enigmatic man who introduces a new woman to his passion for fly-fishing, unpeeling a labyrinth of missing companions and emotional fractures. Directed by Ian Rickson, it starred Hugh Jackman.
