Three Men in a Boat in Kingston upon Thames

Rose Theatre presents the world premiere of Three Men in a Boat, a riotous new comedy by Al Smith, based on the classic novel by Jerome K. Jerome. This hilarious new production features original songs by Tony Award nominee Grant Olding (One Man, Two Guvnors), directed by Rose Theatre Artistic Director Christopher Haydon (Emma), with physical comedy created by John Nicholson (Tweedy’s Massive Circus).

A celebration of abiding friendship and calamitous adventure, this world premiere brings Jerome K. Jerome’s classic novel hilariously to life, promising an affair akin to Jeeves and Wooster meets Apocalypse Now.

Jerome, George and Harris are lifelong pals. Whenever one is in a spot of bother, the others will always jump in to help him out. So what could possibly go wrong as they set out on a carefree boat trip up the Thames, from leafy Kingston to Oxford’s dreaming spires?

Nothing at all. Except torrential rain, alarmingly eccentric dogs, and a bout of hallucination brought on by some of the most dangerously rancid cheese ever cultivated. This is a rollicking story of three men, one boat, and eighteen extremely angry swans.
