This production began performances on 31st October 2014 and 8th February 2015.

A remote fishing cabin, a man and a woman, and a moonless night. The River asks: when we find each other, are we trying to recapture someone we once lost?

Tony Award® winner Hugh Jackman returns to Broadway in The River, a spellbinding new play written by Jez Butterworth and directed by Ian Rickson, the team behind the hit play Jerusalem.


Poetic and bewitching, The River promises to be the first must-see event of the season.


Sonia Friedman Productions, Stuart Thompson, Scott Rudin, Roger Berlind, Colin Callender, Scott Landis, and Tulchin Barnter Productions present “THE RIVER” by Jez Butterworth.
