‘The River’ tells the story of Rose, a young girl who is forced to grow up facing two images of her father: that of the man that told her stories and took her to feed the swans, and that of the man who ran away and left Rose with only his dirty secrets for company. The play balances heightened lyricism against devastating realism to both brutally and beautifully portray the burden of sublimated blame and inherited guilt in all of its characters. No wonder the swans went away.
