General Information:

Drawing upon his own wartime experience Morgan tells the story of a group of downed, allied pilots in occupied France in 1943 hiding from the Nazis in the granary of a farmhouse owned by a member of the resistance. Tensions rise as they await news of the last leg of their journey through occupied Europe to the Pyrenees along the escape route known as 'The River Line'. As midnight approaches, one brutal action of terrible suddenness is to haunt their lives forever. It is the story of normal men and women are caught in the turmoil of war and how ordinary people are forced to face up to extraordinary circumstances.

Review:

The Jermyn Street Theatre is a very small Theatre near the Piccadilly Circus. The Venue has capacity for about 70 People and the Stage is pretty small.

It's a little hard for not native english-speaking people to understand every single word as the play sometimes becomes pretty philosophical but no worries you will have no problems to follow the play in general.

The performances of all castmembers were solid. Besides Charlie and Lydia, Christopher Fulford who plays Commander Julien Wyburton convinced with his great acting skills.

Charlie did an amazing performance. He seemed a bit nervous at the beginning but overall his acting skills are great. He performed all his scenes professional and especially his performance of his last scene was very convincing.

Lydias performance was amazing as well. She understood to show a wide range of emotions. Mainly at the end of the play you could feel with her.

Both, Charlie and Lydia, did a great job.

Overall it's a great and very emotional play, with nice costumes, a serious and soulful story with some funny scenes. With about 120 minutes not too long and not too short. The price (16 pounds) is ok as well.

So, if you're in London you have to see the play, if not we recommend you to travel to London to see the play, especially if you're a fan of Charlie and/or Lydia. It's worth it!

'The River Line' Reviews

Yesterday evening was the press night of The River Line in London. Here are some reviews of the play:

What´s On Stage:

After the exciting rediscovery of Emlyn Williams’s Accolade at the Finborough last year, here comes an even more revelatory excavation from the same period: Charles Morgan’s The River Line (1952) is a brilliantly constructed, almost mystical, story of love, guilt and reconciliation at a Gloucestershire dinner party in 1947.

The first and third acts are separated by a flashback to a country granary near Toulouse in 1943, where a group of soldiers are following the “river line” – the clandestine escape route across occupied France – helped by the Resistance.

The Evening Standard:

Part of the Jermyn Street Theatre's mission is to revive forgotten classics, and The River Line promises to be just such a piece. It is the work of Charles Morgan, once the theatre critic on The Times and a successful novelist in the Twenties and Thirties, but now obscure.

The story began life as a novel; Morgan turned it into a play in 1952. The title refers to a system that allowed British servicemen during the Second World War an escape route through rural France, aided by the French Resistance.

Stage Reviews:

Not an easy play to stage, The River Line - adapted by Charles Morgan from his novel of the same name - divided critics when it was first performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1952. Director Anthony Biggs’s decision to revive it is a bold one as, by modern standards in particular, it’s a piece that takes a while to get going, asking that its audience spend a considerable amount of time investing in a group of well-to-do characters and their philosophical chitchat, while little of seeming importance happens. When, in Act 2, the action shifts to four years previously and some of the group’s activities hiding out with the French Resistance in World War II, it’s a welcome burst of excitement, paired with a breath of relief.

First Pictures of "The River Line" 

The amazing play with Charlie and his amazing sister Lydia started on Tuesday in London at the Jermyn Street Theatre. Garry Lake took some great pictures of the play which you can see in the following Youtube Video:

From October 4th till October 29th Charlie and his sister Lydia Rose Bewley will be a part of the theater play 'The Rivers Line' at the Jermyn Street Theatre in London, England.

'Originally written by Morgan as a novel in 1949 The River Line was adapted by him for the Edinburgh Festival of 1952 with a cast that included Paul Scofield and Virginia McKenna. At the time Morgan was considered one of the greatest dramatists of his era, before the angry young men of the late fifties revolutionised British theatre. With Harold Hobson of The Sunday Times describing him as "one of the most important writers of our generation" and the play as "the most exciting, the most sensitive, the most intellectually and emotionally alive play that the Edinburgh Festival has yet given us" and John Barber of the Daily Express writing of it "So dignified, it hurts.” The River Line divided opinion straight down the middle.

Drawing upon his own wartime experience Morgan tells the story of a group of downed, allied pilots in occupied France in 1943 hiding from the Nazis in the granary of a farmhouse owned by a member of the resistance. Tensions rise as they await news of the last leg of their journey through occupied Europe to the Pyrenees along the escape route known as 'The River Line'. As midnight approaches, one brutal action of terrible suddenness is to haunt their lives forever. It is the story of normal men and women are caught in the turmoil of war and how ordinary people are forced to face up to extraordinary circumstances. '
