by Philip Ridley

PRESENTED BY Hot Seat, ROAR Theatre and 2SER, in association with TRS

Vincent River has been murdered in a public toilet. Teenage Davey is haunted by the memory of finding his body, so he begs Vincent’s grieving mother Anita to help him get the memories out of his head. Anita agrees, but on one condition: Davey has to admit to the part he really played in Vincent’s death.

From acclaimed UK writer Philip Ridley, whose controversial Mercury Fur played to rave reviews last year at the Stables, comes this psychological thriller about grief and redemption. Set against an all-too-relevant backdrop of intolerance, Vincent River recently had sell-out seasons on the West End and in New York seasons, where critics called it “exhilarating” (The Independent), “Riveting” (The Guardian) and “Shockingly good! Ridley’s best play.” (Times, London)

Vincent River stars AFI-nominated Elaine Hudson, soon to be seen in STC’s Streetcar Named Desire with Cate Blanchett, and multi-award-winning playwright and actor Beejan Olfat (History Boys at Melbourne Theatre Co.). It’s directed by Jonathan Wald, whose 2008 production of Hilda was chosen for the Seymour Centre’s Best Independent Theatre series, made a Time Out Critics’ Pick, and called “haunting” and “tremendously played.”
