Theatre
Three Men in a Boat
Rose Theatre, Kingston
Jerome, George and Harris are lifelong friends. 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?
This world premiere brings Jerome K. Jerome’s classic novel to life. A celebration of abiding friendship and calamitous adventure, it’s Jeeves and Wooster meets Apocalypse Now.
