The dark subtleties eddying beneath its surface tug fiercely at the emotions and the imagination. The Times Philip Ridley's devastating two-hander has lost none of its glinting edge in the seven years since it premiered ... his writing is among the very sharpest in British theatre. Time Out London
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, 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. Vincent River premiered at Hampstead Theatre on 6 September 2000. It received its West End premiere at the Trafalgar Studios on 30 October 2007.
