Description
Are you ready to be swallowed into the depths of the Thames? Midsummer comes but once a year. Weaving together an original folk score and tales from a romance best forgotten, Sing, River invites us into the hidden world of British mythology. Join us on the riverbed for a queer solo show by Nathaniel Jones, exploring the act of severing yourself from dark memories in order to survive.

Me and my sister saw more than 40 shows this year, and this one even twice, because it was one of our biggest highlights. Absolute beautiful, heartbreaking, amazingly performed show!
Sublime music & singing and magnificent writing, great use of light, such well-used and emotional imagery; I especially loved the symbolism/metaphors/ideas of the potter/mold, the Golden Age, and the crown.
The moment the myth of the king who spent a year with the fae connected to the narrator’s realisation about his former abusive relationship and perception of love – breathtaking!
This was my seventh Fringe I’ve been to and "Sing, River" was in all these years one of the greatest and most emotional shows I’ve ever seen!

One of the highlights of the fringe.
Great thought-provoking story and an incredible talented actor. I really could not take my eyes off him for the whole performance.

To share such life experiences on stage and crafted with care, beauty, tenderness is an act of empowerment with each song and experience shared a chance for those who have been through similar experiences to see a light and passage forward. The connections with folklore, nature and the earth really developed an important sense of light and guidance that can ground. A remarkable piece of theatre.
