The Curators’ timely revival of Philip Ridley’s modern masterpiece VINCENT RIVER debuts at CHRIST CHURCH, Brisbane’s newest, inner-city, indie theatre venue, from 13 – 31 October for 13 performances only.

Vincent River is dead and seventeen-year-old Davey has been shadowing Anita since her son’s death. A mother…. a stranger… denials, lies, half-truths and shocking disclosures. The confrontation is brutal. Why is he so traumatised? Why has he been following her? Why is he so hungry for the details of Vincent’s life?

The dramatic tension of this 80-minute, taut, two-hander ramps up as Davey’s account of events is subjected to the devastating and unrelenting logic of a grieving mother’s scrutiny. Seeking comfort, absolution, understanding, and bound together by the memory of Vincent, these two accuse, excuse, plead and bear witness.

Brought to you by the team that created Uncle Vanya, The Quighting Time, The Third Beauty, and Ghosts, this chamber piece is a timely and thrilling piece of theatre.
