Hugh Jackman, Cush Jumbo & Laura Donnelly Rehearse For The River By...Fly Fishing?!

The River is rushing to Broadway, and to prepare for their roles in the new play by Jez Butterworth, stars Hugh Jackman, Cush Jumbo and Laura Donnelly went on a field trip on October 1—to a real river to go fly fishing. Wow, these guys are really taking rehearsal to the next level! Directed by Ian Rickson, the three-hander tells the story of a man and a woman in a remote cabin on the cliffs on a moonless night. Check out this shot by Darren Cox, featuring Jackman and his two new leading ladies doing a little sense memory work—then see them show off what they learned in The River, beginning October 31 at Circle in the Square Theatre!
