The Drowned Rivers

The troubled Rivers family through four generations over three parts.

The Girl on the River is set in 1956 and follows Sylvia as her parents struggle to keep their house that they’ve built on the riverbed.

The Boy on the River is set in 1996 and follows the three troubled children of that marriage: Victoria, Az and Jordan. 

At Rivers’ End is set in 2016 and follows Sylvia and Jordan after Sylvia’s husband, and Jordan’s father, dies. Sylvia’s granddaughter and Victoria’s daughter Olivia has come to look after Sylvia without anybody knowing, when Jordan arrives to take her away to a rest home. 

At the end of the play, the family are free from their obligations and are finally allowed to exist as a family who can love each other.
