Theatre Britain and Uptown Players announce revival of Vincent River
Theatre Britain and Uptown Players are thrilled to announce the revival of Theatre Britain’s acclaimed production of Vincent River on June 4 - 21, 2009, at the KD Studio Theatre in Dallas.
Set in the East End of London, Vincent River (written by Philip Ridley) sets a harsh, lyrical and hysterical drama about a bereaved mother and the anguished young man who crashes into her life. In the aftermath of a hate crime, Anita (Sue Roberts-Birch) and Davey (James Chandler) search for the answer to the simplest and most impossible of questions: Why? Vincent River plays cat-and-mouse with its audience, dispensing truths, half-truths and falsehoods in strategically staggered increments.
Although Theatre Britain and Uptown Players have always had close ties, this is the first time the two companies have cooperated formally. Vincent River runs June 4 - 21, 2009, with performances at 8 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday nights and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets can be purchased online at www.theatre-britain.com or www.uptownplayers.org or by phone at (214) 219-2718.
