Philip Ridley’s modern classic was a huge success when it premiered at Hampstead Theatre in 2001, and a West End smash at Trafalgar Studios in 2007. This year, it returns to Studio 2 as a new production direct from the Park Theatre.
Thrilling, heartbreaking and darkly humorous by turns, it is now seen as one of the most powerful explorations of hate crime - and society’s need to crush ‘difference’ - ever written.

4 June, 19:45 – Post-show Q&A hosted by Terri Paddock of Stage Faves, discussing issues in the play and the dramatic rise in hate crime. Since 2014, attacks on London’s LGBT+ community have almost doubled, according to figures from the Metropolitan Police. Will Mayrick was a victim of hate crime on the Tube in October 2017, choked and threatened with a knife and being forced by his attackers to apologise for being gay. He now hopes that sharing his story will help other homophobic and transphobic attack victims to come forward. The panel also features Emma Miller-McCaffrey, Community Engagement Manager from Diversity Role Models, who create safe spaces where young people can explore difference and consider their role in creating a world where we all feel accepted.
12 Jun, 19:45 – Post-show discussion featuring the production’s award-winning producer Danielle Tarento in conversation with playwright Philip Ridley, discussing Vincent River and his other works.

The Grade II listed Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End, formerly known as Trafalgar Studios, is the result of a major multi-million pound restoration project. Reinstating the venue back to its original design to show off its spectacular auditorium once again, the theatre boasts brand new seating, bar and spacious foyer.
The Trafalgar Theatre opened in 1930 as the Whitehall Theatre and has retained its recognisable Art Deco style exterior ever since. In 1997 it became a television and radio studio, broadcasting BBC Radio 4 shows. Now a thriving theatre once again, it’s home to the hit West End show, People, Places and Things.
