Jerome K. Jerome's classic tale of boating misadventure has become the quintessential example of the charm and wit of Victorian England. In an attempt to escape the stresses of city life three friends J, Harris and George plus their faithful canine companion Montmorency decide to take a boating jaunt between Kingston and Oxford. However a trip intended to relax and rejuvenate quickly becomes a journey of unquenchable comedy, with death defying battles with swans, culinary disasters and contrary tea kettles just a few of the challenges facing the trio along the way. In this imaginative, new adaptation, the acclaimed and award winning Original Theatre Company take this classic tale by the scruff of the neck. Full of energy, song and just three actors playing all the characters along with a handful of props create all the high jinks and hilarity of the most famous boating holiday in history. Produced by The Original Theatre Company , directed by Alastair Whatley and Craig Gilbert. "A modern classic, a rich and heady brew...utterly enthralling" "It is a pleasure to have the play hammered home by such a gripping cast under Alastair Whatley's strong direction." Tickets £15.00
