NEW - THE RIVER - Talkin' Broadway's Review

Posted by:	T.B._Admin. 07:13 pm EST 11/16/14

Matthew Murray takes a look at The River: Sometimes the most intriguing mystery is revealed in a place where there’s no mystery at all. This is certainly the case with The River, which just opened at the Circle in the Square. Jez Butterworth’s 2012 play, here seen in a remounting of Ian Rickson’s Royal Court Theatre production, is powered by a premise that’s provocative primarily because each of the three characters onstage refuses to mention it. And that would be the most newsworthy part of this play that needs no outside help if not for the smaller matter of casting its central role with one of the most unexpected of actors: Hugh Jackman. . . .
