Featuring a cast of three, Jez Butterworth鈥檚 鈥淭he River鈥� is coming to West End Productions.

Director Joe Feldman said he was first and foremost drawn to the beautiful language of the script.

鈥淚t鈥檚 lush and poetic,鈥� Feldman said, 鈥渁nd what also caught my eye about it was pretty much on every other page that I read, I said to myself, 鈥楬ow on Earth am I going to stage that?鈥欌��

He said there are a number of unusual surprises in the script that make it feel interestingly constructed. He discussed with the cast what they thought was really happening in scenes, because it is a very 鈥渙paque play,鈥� he said.

鈥淪ometimes it feels like the author has taken all the events of the play, taken scissors, and cut them all up into little pieces, thrown them into the air, swept them up and put them on pages,鈥� Feldman said.

鈥淭he River,鈥� he said, is about love and the boxes people find themselves in that they can鈥檛 get out of.

鈥淚t鈥檚 about a very human need to love and be loved,鈥� Feldman said, 鈥�(and) how people find all sorts of very imaginative ways to try to accomplish that.鈥�

The play is set in modern-day England, in a secluded cabin an unnamed man brings his new girlfriend to. It鈥檚 slowly revealed he鈥檚 brought other women here before.

鈥淚t鈥檚 definitely a psychological maze, but it鈥檚 also hilarious,鈥� Feldman said.

鈥淧eople will come, and they鈥檒l laugh, they鈥檒l be amused, they will be puzzled, they will hopefully be moved, and hopefully they will have a great time,鈥� he said.

With David Yakubik as The Man, Maria Latiolais as The Woman and Rachel Foster as The Other Woman, Feldman had a small cast to direct and create connections with.

鈥淚 feel like I really get to know the actors very, very well,鈥� Feldman said, 鈥渁nd it鈥檚 just a more intimate feeling in rehearsals.鈥�

He said the smallness helps create intimacy between the actors portraying these relationships on stage.

Ryan Jason Cook, the show鈥檚 set designer, brought an incredible set to the stage, Feldman said, one that revolved heavily around a surging river and fishing. Feldman has strayed from some of the original set directions, like one that calls for a live fish to be gutted on stage.

鈥淚 just didn鈥檛 really want to do something like that. It鈥檚 very, very complicated and messy,鈥� Feldman said. 鈥淪o, what we鈥檙e doing instead is we鈥檙e going to go to a blackout 鈥� you鈥檒l see the man holding the fish and taking the knife to it. We鈥檒l go to a blackout, and when we come out of the blackout, the fish has been cut up and is cooking.鈥�

As the audience watches the show, he hopes it prompts a dialogue.

鈥淢y first hope and greatest hope would be that people would walk out of the theater talking about it and talking with the people they saw it with,鈥� Feldman said.
