It marked the sixth collaboration between Jez Butterworth and Ian Rickson, following on from the multi-award winning production of Jerusalem, which opened at the Royal Court in 2009.
The production also featured Laura Donnelly, alongside Miranda Raison and Dominic West, going on to win a South Bank Sky Arts Award. The River is designed by Ultz, with lighting by Charles Balfour, sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph and music by Stephen Warbeck.
