Three Men in a Boat, with Giles Shenton (Old Herbaceous himself!) playing the part of Jerome K. Jerome
Join Jerome as he recounts the hilarious story of his boating holiday along the magnificent River Thames with his two companions and Montmorency the dog. Come and join in the fun as Giles Shenton expertly takes the helm and pilots you through the ridiculous tale of men behaving badly while messing about in boats!
This show is adapted from one of the best selling books of all time and one that has never been out of print since it was first published in 1889. It is a comedy about a journey up the River Thames but also shows us that society has changed little over the years in respect of our concerns and our enjoyment. The show also reminds us about the beauty of the world we live in and provides the audience with a sense of history surrounding this magnificent waterway
“There are a few seriously funny books that remain great for all time. Three Men in a Boat is one of these” The Guardian
“Skilfully distilled from Jerome K. Jerome’s comic masterpiece into 95 minutes of pure delight. To those who wondered if the same team could live up to the earlier success of Old Herbaceous, the answer was an emphatic yes. A master class in confidence, stagecraft and delivery.” Opening Night Review
“The nearest thing to ‘audio slapstick’ I’ve ever heard, culminating in the sublime comedy of opening a tin when you’ve forgotten the tin opener. It is not often that you come out of a theatrical performance feeling like you’ve been sharing happy and hilarious times, safe from a cruel world & wrapped in a warm blanket.” Vera Fletcher Review
“Skilfully distilled from Jerome K. Jerome’s comic masterpiece into 95 minutes of pure delight…. A master class in confidence, stagecraft and delivery.” Opening Night Review
‘Pitch-perfect comedy about, well, three men in a boat’ The Telegraph
