Vincent River by Philip Ridley
Directed by Jack King
Performances: Tuesday 18th to Saturday 22nd May 2010, Prompt Corner
Davey has a secret but what will be the consequences of sharing it? Anita is looking for answers but will finding them provide resolution? Their paths are about to cross with devastating results.
Vincent River is a darkly humorous and heartbreaking play about love, loss and the lies we tell ourselves just to get by.
Cast
Anita - Eileen Coan
Davey - Hadley Smith
“You know how you tell you’re getting older? Questions people ask. Family stuff mainly. When you’re a kid it’s, ‘How’s your Mum?’ A bit older – about your age - it’s ‘You got a boyfriend yet?’ Then ‘You courting yet?’ Then, ‘How’s your husband?’ ‘Got any children yet?’ ‘Got any grandchildren yet?’ No one ever asks ‘Is your son dead yet?’
This is a challenging two-hander dealing with very adult subject matter. There’s no elaborate set or fancy lighting, just two actors engaging an audience.
