Laura Donnelly, Miranda Raison, and Dominic West are set to star in The River, a new play by Jez Butterworth, to run October 18-November 17 at London’s Jerwood Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court.

West is best known for his performance on HBO’s The Wire. His stage credits include Butley, The Voysey Inheritance, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and many others. Raison starred in Shakespeare’s Globe’s productions of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. Donnely’s credits include Philadelphia, Here I Come and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, among others.
