Vincent River
a play by Philip Ridley
March 30th thru April 21, 2012

Last December 17-year-old Davey saw something that he can't forget. Yesterday, 53-year-old Anita was forced to flee the flat she'd lived in all her adult life. Davey and Anita have never met. Yet, both know, sooner or later, their paths will have to cross. Featuring Lorraine Bahr and Chad Furlong. Directed by Barry Hunt.

"I rely on Philip Ridley to leave me shaken and shocked. His considerable imagination takes me places I prefer not to visit, unless escorted by a writer of his moral seriousness." -Evening Standard (London)
