Vincent River
Trafalgar Studios 2 Theatre, London from 30th October 2007 to 17th November
2007
Davey has seen something he can’t forget. Anita has been forced to
flee her home. These two have never met. Tonight their paths cross, with
devastating consequences.
Thrilling, heartbreaking and darkly humorous by turns, this timely revival
from the award-winning writer of The Pitchfork Disney,
Mercury Fur and Leaves
of Glass stars Lynda Bellingham (Sugar
Mummies, Losing Louis) and Mark Field (An
Inspector Calls, Brideshead Revisited).
First staged at Hampstead Theatre in 2000 and now receiving its West End
premiere, Vincent River explores the classic Ridley themes of loss, sexual
identity, the family as a destructive force, East London and the redemptive
power of storytelling.
"Shockingly good...Ridley’s best play" The Times
"Ridley is a singular writer, a prolific polymath,
probably a genius, and the creator of some of the most compelling British
plays of recent years." Time
Out
"I rely on Philip Ridley to leave me shaken and shocked.
His considerable imagination reaches places I prefer not to visit, unless
escorted by a writer of his moral seriousness." Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard
"Ridley is a visionary" Rolling Stone Magazine
