On a moonless night in August when the sea trout are ready to run, a man brings his new girlfriend to the remote family cabin where he has come for the fly-fishing since he was a boy. But she's not the only woman he has brought here – or indeed the last.

A bewitching story from the author of global smash hit Jerusalem, Jez Butterworth's play The River was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London. This major revival of The River plays at Greenwich Theatre throughout October 2024.

We've teamed up with our friends at Greenwich Theatre to offer one lucky winner the chance to receive a pair of tickets to a performance of The River – subject to availability – plus a copy of the playscript.

To enter this competition, all you have to do is correctly answer the following question:

In what year was The River first performed?

a) 2012
b) 2016
c) 2020

Email the correct answer and your postal address to win@nickhernbooks.co.uk by 12 noon BST on Thursday 3 October 2024. A winner will be drawn at random from the correct entrants.

And that's it! We're delighted to publish The River – see more and get your copy here.
