“On a moonless evening, a man brings his new girlfriend to a remote cabin for a night of trout-fishing. But before the night is over, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems… and as memory collides with desire, the truth becomes the most elusive catch of all.”

My mother and I went to see The River, by Jez Butterworth, which Hugh Jackman is currently starring in. My mother, as most people reading this likely know, is a professor of English Literature. And this play begs to be deconstructed.

I need to spoil a bunch of the exposition and twists to discuss this at length. )

Overall: This has some funny bits and was interesting to analyze, though my mother noted the biggest strike against it was that Jackman never once removes his shirt.
