That feeling, the one in my toes and my skin, the sunrise, the glow… what if that was never right in the first place?

Midsummer comes but once a year. As the seasons shift like clockwork and dawn waits on the horizon, there are secrets lurking on the riverbed. Darkness can cover a great many horrors, but now the river sings.

Weaving together an original folk score and tales from a romance best forgotten, Sing, River invites us into the hidden world of British mythology. Love Song Productions present a new queer solo show that explores the act of severing yourself from dark memories in order to survive… and the sometimes unwanted consequences that come with it.

Are you ready to be swallowed into the depths of the Thames?
